Celebrating Computer Science Week: Looking Back, Leaping Forward

Our school celebrated Computer Science Week 2025 during the second week in December, embracing the theme ‘Looking Back, Leaping Forward.’  The week highlighted the importance of Computer Science in developing creativity, problem-solving, and the skills needed for the future. It encourages students to see Computer Science not just as coding, but as a powerful way of thinking that supports modern society.

Students across the school took part in a range of activities to mark the occasion. Students in Years 7 & 8 created imaginative and interactive Scratch animations, showcasing futuristic worlds where technology and people work together.

Students from all year groups also enjoyed a Binary Christmas Challenge: decoding a festive message and exploring how binary and secret codes are used in real-world problem solving, much like the challenges run by GCHQ.
