FANTASTIC RESULTS! - Broomwood Hall

WEEK 11 · FRIDAY 22 JUNE 2012
FANTASTIC RESULTS!
I am so thrilled to announce a bumper crop of results. There were some individual highs for every single
girl and plenty of happy tears today. Particular mention must go to three of our girls who got distinction
at CE by placing in the top 15 at Bradfi eld; well done to Tara Clarke, Cecily Crawford and especially Issy
Cash who beat all comers by coming 1st with top CE scores and therefore prizes in English, History and
Geography. Leonora Monson achieved the top Latin score at St Mary’s Calne and Ella Longmore came top
at Benenden in English, History and RS, and will also receive a special prize. A small mention must also go
to Aggie Wiener for 8 of her 12 King’s papers being marked at over 81%, and Tatiana Hardy with straight
As for Wellington. With commendations to Lara Paul in English, Geography and RS, as well as 10 scholarships already
in the bag, it has been a fabulous year. Results like these are also testament to the skill and professionalism of our
academic staff; they are a true example of what can be achieved when you marry forward thinking techniques with tried
and tested pedagogical processes. Well done to all of them too.
And so, it is congratulations to: Bella Boulton, Juliette Gougeon, Jemima Hobbs, Ella Longmore (drama
scholarship), Imogen Reed, Olivia Robb and Imogen Williams (Benenden); Bella Ayrton, Issy Cash, Tara Clarke, Cecily

Mrs Skinner will be taking the Roman Catholic girls in
Classes 4 and 7 to Mass for St Peter and St Paul at Holy

CLASS 6 BBQ
The Class 6 BBQ turned out to be on one of the best
evenings of the summer so far. The girls loved being able
to wear their home clothes and run around the garden
at breakneck speed before dancing very enthusiastically
in the disco! The parents meanwhile had a lovely time
chatting, enjoying a glass or two of rose and getting to
know some of the parents of the new girls starting in
September. It was a wonderful Broomwood occasion and
many thanks to all those who organised it and particularly
to those who produced the most delicious BBQ!

With Common Entrance over on Thursday 14 June, we were
whisked off to Hyde Park in three stretch Hummers! Monday
was our animation day where we filmed a scene and our
characters were made from clay. On Tuesday we went to
the BBC and went on a very interesting tour. Wednesday we
went to the V & A where we learnt to do stage make-up. On
Thursday we learnt how to be models in the Standing Tall
workshop. In the afternoon we did African drumming which
was loud and fun! Friday was our sporty day and we went to
Wimbledon Watersports. We have loved our trips and they
were a great reward for finishing our exams!
