Bebras Challenge
The Computer Science department is excited to announce that our students have achieved outstanding success in this year’s Bebras Challenge (10th - 21st November 2025), 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. Last year, over 3 million students from more than 80 countries participated in this exciting competition.
We had 826 students take part, which included all students in KS3 and all Computer Science students in KS4 and KS5. The results for Bourne Grammar School were excellent – feedback from the organisers indicates that our students consistently achieved above average scores in every age range that we entered.
Our best performer was Phoenix Angel, a Computer Science student in Year 11. He achieved a perfect 165 out of 165 points.
Phoenix’s performance ensured that he secured challenge rank ‘1’ meaning that he achieved first place of all participants in the challenge nationally. A great achievement and one we are extremely proud of. Well done Phoenix!
