Outstanding Success for Students in the UK Coding Challenge
A group of talented students from St Clement Danes have achieved outstanding results in the UK Coding Challenge, an exclusive event for students aged 10–19 who earned a Gold Certificate in this year’s UK Bebras Challenge, placing them in the top 10% nationally.
A total of 33 students from our school qualified to take part, completing their 45-minute challenge entries in after-school sessions, joining over 80,000 students across the UK in tackling complex computational thinking problems.
The challenge provided a fantastic opportunity for students to build confidence, enhance their digital skills, and apply logical thinking to real-world coding tasks.
We are particularly proud of the exceptional performances by James C, Annabella W, and Preiyan D, who each achieved a perfect score, finishing 1st out of nearly 50,000 students in their age category, a truly remarkable achievement!
A special mention also goes to Chloe P, who competed two age groups above her own and was awarded a Distinction, a testament to her ambition and ability.
Certificates were presented by Mr Sutherland in recognition of the students’ hard work, dedication, and success.
Well done to all who took part, your achievements are an inspiration to the whole school community!
