Students Excel in Computing Competitions
We have had much Computing success to report in recent competitions. St Clement Danes entered 578 students for Bebras, of which there were 341,652 entries nationally. Out of these, we achieved 151 merits, 144 distinctions and an amazing 70 Golds, putting us in the top 10% nationally and qualifying for the 2nd round which is an Oxford University for the coding challenge. We will update you on their progress next month.
Students also entered Cyber First; an incredibly difficult competition involving new software and a lot of skills the students have never had to master before. This was a girls only competition. One team, which consisted of only 3 students where most teams have 4, did phenomenally well and have qualified for the regional East of England finals.
Good luck to all involved!
