As part of Queenswood’s Computer Science course, the school entered the Bebras Computing Challenge during the week of November 13–17. The challenge involves students taking a set of in-class computing tasks.

Bebras is a well-established competition that is carried out in over fifty countries and is sponsored by Oxford University and the Raspberry Pi Foundation. It is delivered through a series of problem solving and computational thinking challenges.

Across the school, 39 students were awarded distinction. In addition, the following students were in the top 10% of entrants nationwide, and have been invited to participate in a further challenge, known as the Oxford University Computing Challenge, later in the school year.
