It’s been a busy few weeks for our KS4 Computer Science students!
Year 10 put their coding skills to the test at PrepareRobo, building and programming their own robots before competing in a race and finishing with a Robot Wars-style battle.
Year 11 took a trip back through computing history at the North West Computer Museum. Students got hands-on with classic BBC computers and had a go at programming them for themselves.
Two very different experiences, but both gave our students a great chance to experience Computer Science away from their usual lessons

On Wednesday, the year 7 boys rugby team played in the ‘Emerging Schools’ tournament hosted by Wigan Warriors at Robin Park Arena. Playing a ‘9-a-side’ format Bedford started well with victory over Fred Longworth, and then followed with superb performances against St Peter’s Orrell, Dean Trust Rose Bridge and Byrchall High School. A narrow defeat in our final game versus Outwood Academy Hindley meant that Bedford had won four out of their five games played. Some super attacking rugby combined with determined defence meant that Bedford left the tournament with refreshed confidence and the rightful praise of the coaching staff and watching parents/ families. Some individual highlights amongst a great team performance were:
‘Spectators POTM’- Blake D.
‘Coaches POTM’- Beau M, Jacob V and Kalvin M. ... See MoreSee Less
