This year, we entered approximately 250 pupils for the Bebras Computational Thinking Challenge where we had some excellent results, including 3 Year7s with the highest score we have ever seen, and 16 pupils placing in the top 10% nationally!
The Bebras Challenge introduces computational thinking to students worldwide. This exciting challenge takes place in schools, under the supervision of teachers, over a two-week period every November. Last year, over 3 million students from more than 80 countries participated!
In the UK, the challenge is open to all young people aged 6 to 19. Each participant has 45 minutes to tackle a series of interactive tasks, designed to encourage logical thinking and problem-solving skills appropriate for their age group.
The tasks are designed to allow every student the opportunity to showcase their potential, whether they excel in maths or computing, or not.
Well done to the following 16 pupils who achieved a Gold Award. Additionally, the three Year 7 pupils were joint Best in School and who placed in the top 10% nationally are Audrey Edimoh, E Bacon, and Charlie Hodgson.
