Pupils at Cranbrook Education Campus have been putting their problem-solving skills to the test in the international Bebras Challenge.

Scores of pupils from years 5–10 took part, gaining a real taste of computational thinking in action.

The Bebras Challenge introduces computational thinking to students across the globe. In 2025, over 2.5 million students from 85 countries took part, making it the world’s biggest computer science competition. 

The challenge features a series of logic and problem-solving puzzles designed to stretch students’ thinking, develop creativity and build computational skills. It gives pupils the chance to tackle real-world-style problems in a fun and engaging way.

At Cranbrook Education Campus, part of theTed Wragg Trust, the curriculum is designed to be diverse and engaging, building character, curiosity and essential life skills. Computing and maths work together to develop confident, creative problem-solvers with strong logical and digital skills.

Stephen Farmer, Head of Campus at Cranbrook Education Campus, said:

“Our pupils threw themselves into the challenge with real enthusiasm. Watching them approach complex problems intently has been fantastic, and we cannot wait to see their results.”

Moira Marder, CEO of the Ted Wragg Trust, said:

“It’s fantastic to see Cranbrook pupils taking part in a global challenge that builds the confidence and ambition we want for every young person across our trust. Opportunities like this help pupils see just how far their skills can take them.”
