competition
This exciting competition is for girls in Year 8 (12-13yrs of age). This age group has been deliberately chosen to give as many girls as possible the opportunity to find out more about cyber security with a view to potentially influencing the subjects they choose at GCSE. Only 11% of the global cyber workforce is made of women, so our ultimate aim is to inspire the girls into a career in cyber security.
Teachers, of any subject, can get involved and enter a team of girls. No prior specialist IT knowledge is required. Schools may enter as many teams as they wish.
The competition’s Grand Final will be taking place in Edinburgh on 24-25 March 2019.

Join hundreds of UK and overseas schools in this years Spirited Arts competition!
Now in its 15th year, our annual competition has attracted over 320,000 participants (averaging 20,000 per year!), with 2,000 entries being sent in to NATRE each year for judging. Hundreds of UK schools get involved, and we get entries coming from as far afield as Cyprus and Australia, Indonesia and South Africa.
The annual competition starts at the beginning of every school year and runs through to 31 July, in order to enable teachers to incorporate the art competition into their RE lessons. Many schools have an ‘Art in Heaven’ unit of work, or a special learning RE/arts week.
Judging by RE Today Advisers and students, takes place in August and winners are announced in the new academic year.
Childnet International has launched a film competition for children and young people aged 7-18 to share their understanding of online safety issues. The competition is open to UK primary and secondary schools and youth organisations. The closing date is 11 June 2018.
Solihull and District Club of Soroptimist International is working with Andrew Greenall and Jarrod Reynolds on a schools’ baking competition linked to fair trade. Junior Schools will bake cup cakes and decorate them, with secondary schools baking and decorating celebration cakes, using as many fair trade ingredients as possible. Schools will hold their own competitions, with the winners from each school entering the Cake Off on 24th February where the winning overall Borough Schools in each category will be judged. This is the first time Solihull and District Club of Soroptimist International have organised this event, and hope that this will grow over the years with more schools participating. This will not only teach the children to bake, but also learn more about fair trade. It will, of course, help the Borough maintain its fair trade status.
