Students in Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 at Tewkesbury Academy recently took part in the Bebras Challenge, an international competition designed to promote computational and logical thinking skills.
The challenge takes place annually and is undertaken by students in over 80 countries worldwide.
Academy leaders are proud to celebrate the achievements of Tewkesbury students, with many receiving Merit awards (top 50% at school) and Distinction awards (top 25% at school). In addition, awards for Best in Key Stage were presented in both Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5.
A particularly outstanding achievement was recorded by Matthew Dorehill, (pictured) who was awarded a Gold Award. This prestigious accolade is only given to students who place in the top 10% nationally, highlighting Matthew’s exceptional performance in the challenge.
Tom Lakin, Lead Teacher in Computing and IT, said: “We are incredibly proud of all our students who took part in the Bebras Challenge.
“The results reflect not only their hard work and determination, but also their ability to apply logical and computational thinking to complex problems. Achievements such as these demonstrate the strength of computing education at Tewkesbury Academy.”
