Today the #GCHQChristmasChallenge returned. This is a national challenge pitting 11 to 18-year-olds against a series of tricky puzzles set by some of the finest minds at GCHQ. And this year is the trickiest Challenge yet! The Challenge is presented in the form of a Christmas card, sent by their Director, Anne Keast-Butler, to partners around the world.

David Crook, Head of Computing said: “Year 9, 10 & 12 Computing students enjoyed taking on the GCHQ challenge today. They worked effectively in teams to crack the puzzles and we all really enjoyed the cerebral workout!”
