Y12 A Level Maths and Computing groups are today visiting Bletchley Park, learning about the history of encryption and ciphers. Students even got a live demonstration of an authentic Enigma machine! #YourPrioryJourney

Did you get a place at TPS for next year? Maybe we'll see you at #CodeClub for Morse Code Python, Big Screen Tetris Championship, or Lego Robots! #YourPrioryJourney

Year 13 worked on their Computer Organisation weak spots this afternoon by completing exam practice and working together to make some models!

Students have really relished the @bebrasuk challenge this week!
If your child is interested in having a go (and they haven't already done so!) please ask them to email Ms Clarke! #yourPrioryJourney

For the final Computing lesson of the school year, 8HH joined forces with Year 10 GCSE Comp Sci to complete a mini game-maker-athon! Well done to all the students who took part #PrioryProud

Have a great summer, see you all in September! #YourPrioryJourney

TPS Code Club continues into the summer months! Year 7 and 9 students are applying their theoretical knowledge to physical computing projects and having a blast at the same time! #YourPrioryJourney

@elecfreaks Great product guys!

[TPS Computing @TPS_Computing]

9LR were the first group to upload their final projects into our new Retro Arcade consoles! Year 9 have spent the summer term working on their projects, so it is great to see their hard work pay off! #YourPrioryJourney

Lots has happened in TPS Computing recently... 2 trips to the @computermuseum, "How to build a PC" at Computing Social Club led by KS4 students, a @TPS_Aspirations talk from Louise at @Erpimplement, and we were awarded the "I Belong Champion" certificate by @WeAreComputing

[TPS Computing @TPS_Computing]

And we have now been officially recognised as great at teaching Computer Science! Thanks @WeAreComputing for the recognition of our hard work! #prioryProud

Year 10 Computer Science learnt about Networking topologies today; certainly the first time they answered an exam question in chalk! #YourPrioryJourney
