Ashura holds different meanings for Sunni and Shia Muslims. Sunnis celebrate it as the day Moses parted the Red Sea & the salvation of the Israelites. For Shias, it is a day of mourning for Husayn ibn Ali's martyrdom, the Prophet Muhammad's grandson. pic.twitter.com/3wtiRS2P3N— Valley Park School () July 5, 2025

The Bebras Challenge

609 students from Valley Park took part in the UK Bebras Computational Thinking Challenge in November, and of those 318 students have achieved certificates of Merit or Distinction.

The Bebras Computing Challenge introduces computational thinking to students. It is organised in over 40 countries and is designed to get students all over the world excited about computing. 

The Bebras challenges are made of a set of short problems called Bebras tasks and are delivered online. The tasks are fun, engaging and based on problems that Computer Scientists often meet and enjoy solving. The tasks can be solved without prior knowledge but instead require logical thinking. ​The aim is to solve as many as you can in the allotted time.

The best in school for each category were:

  • Ewan Moore and Hannah Wotton for Best in School in the Junior age category
  • Luke Brigland for the Intermediate age category
  • Viktoriia Mikheeva for the Senior age category
  • Jake Tinworth for the Elite age category

12 of our students are classed as being in the top 10% of the country for computational thinking. This means they will be invited to take part in the TCS Oxford Computing Challenge in March.

If you'd like to try one of the challenges from previous years, you can do so here.
