The Computer Science department would like to celebrate the achievements of our CS students who took part in this year’s Perse Coding Challenge.

The Perse Coding Challenge is designed to push students to think logically, work accurately under time pressure and apply computational thinking to unfamiliar problems. Success in the challenge reflects not only technical understanding, but also resilience and careful attention to detail.

We are delighted to celebrate the excellent outcomes achieved by our KS4 students, with a significant number earning Merit awards:

Toby A (10 Manor) – Merit

Stefan C (11 Manor) – Merit

Jack L (10 Throwley) – Merit

Aarav S (11 Throwley) – Merit

Anay T (10 Warwick) – Merit

Alex B (11 Greyhound) – Merit

Alexander W (10 Greyhound) – Merit

Leon Y (11 Greyhound) – Merit

In addition, the following students achieved Higher Participation, indicating particularly strong engagement and performance within the challenge:

Elvin F (11 Manor) – Higher Participation

Max L (11 Throwley) – Higher Participation

Aarav M (10 Throwley) – Higher Participation

Mysha P (10 Manor) – Higher Participation

We would also like to recognise the efforts of students who successfully completed the challenge and achieved Participation awards:

Kerem K (10 Greyhound) – Participation

Dennis L (10 Throwley) – Participation

All students who took part should be proud of their achievements. Participation in competitions such as the Perse Coding Challenge helps develop confidence, independence and problem‑solving skills that are essential for further study in Computer Science and related subjects.
