Donhead is thrilled to announce that students have achieved outstanding success in this year’s Bebras Challenge, an international competition introducing computational thinking to students aged 6 to 19.
Organised in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in partnership with the University of Oxford, the Bebras Challenge encourages students to solve interactive, logic-based tasks that develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
Our students performed exceptionally well, significantly surpassing regional and national averages across all year groups.
In Years 2 and 3, 9 pupils achieved in the top 10% of entries in the UK with two pupils achieving full marks.
In Years 4 and 5, 18 pupils achieved in the top 10% of entries in the UK.
In Year 6 we had 13 pupils (28% of the year group) who achieved in the top 10% of entries in the UK and have qualified for the Oxford Computing Challenge.
Donhead is celebrating this fantastic achievement which reflects our pupils' strength in computational thinking across the school.
