Students in top 10% in country

Congratulations to six of our students who made it into the top 10% in the country out of a total entry of more than 374,000 children across the country in the annual Bebras Computational Thinking Challenge.

All students in Years 7, 8 and 9 took part in this Computer Science competition which involves completing 18 logical computational thinking problems.

The Bebras Challenge is run in partnership with the University of Oxford and the Raspberry Pi Foundation. 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.

This is the first time Worth has entered all students into this competition and the results were impressive across the year groups. The competition attracted an entry of 133,531 participants in the Year 7 category and 240,683 in the Years 8 and 9 category.
