The UK BEBRAS Computational Thinking Challenge, supported by the University of Oxford and Google, is designed to get students excited about computing and computational thinking.  It is a problem-solving contest with questions inspired by topics in computer science.  We are delighted the nine of our Senior students' results placed them in the Top 10% of the country, with many more achieving Distinctions and Merits.  In the Senior School over 100 students entered the competition across Years 7-12.  Dyuti Chakraborty, Charlie Spencer and Matthew Carr gained the Best in School results for their age categories. Other students whose scores were in the Top 10% nationally were Amelia Grota, Archie Stewart, Grace Marriott and Darcey Easton.

 

 

 

 

Within the Prep School a selection of children from Years 4, 5 and 6 were entered and Louie Bosworth and Jatin Mansani in Year 6 were both placed in the Top 10%, which is a fantastic achievement.

Students finishing in the Top 10% have been put forward to enter the next round which is the TCS Oxford Computing Challenge in March. Many congratulations to all who took part and gained outstanding results.
