In addition to excellent academic outcomes, the department leads a range of extracurricular initiatives designed to develop student interest in computing beyond the classroom, including a coding club, a Digital Leaders programme, contributions to the Robotics Club (run in collaboration with DT), and a popular annual House Bebras Computational Thinking competition.
