Bebras Challenge Results – Junior, Senior and Elite

Congratulations to the students in Year 7 (Junior),  Year 10  GCSE Computer Science (Senior)  and Year 12 A Level Computer Science (Elite) who took part in the Bebras Challenge along with 60,000 other students in the UK, and 3 million world-wide. The Bebras Challenge introduces computational thinking to students and this challenge took place in November 2024. The results were really encouraging and those of note are the following.

In the Seniors we got 10/40 students with Distinctions – Christian Gattis, Lockie Chantler, Anna Collins, Sam Green, Oscar Bond, Morgan Davies, Zara Mohammed, Seb Armstrong, James Lewis and Mathew Phipps. Mathew Phipps scored exceptionally well with his result in top 10% in the country, making him the best in school at this level.

In the Elite event, we had 4 /14 students getting a Distinction – Cale Dosanjh, Liam Robbins, Daisy Davies and Tom Trow Smith, with Cale being the best in school at Elite level.

At the Junior level,(Yr 7) 43/200 scores a Distinction, with Christopher Gibb, Oscar Phipps and Fraser Pooley all scoring exceptionally well with full marks, 220 out of 220.

 

'The Bebras Challenge introduces computational thinking to students worldwide. Last year, over 3 million students from more than 80 countries participated!

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 challenge is conducted online, and tasks are marked automatically by our competition system.

The UK Bebras Challenge is organised by the Raspberry Pi Foundation and delivered in partnership with the University of Oxford.'
