BRITISH INFORMATICS OLYMPIAD On 12 th December a number of Tiffinians took part in the British Informatics Olympiad. This is a 3 hour exam consisting of three difficult programming tasks, in which students code in any programming language of their choice. At least one Tiffinian has managed to reach the National Final at Cambridge University (consisting of the top 15 across the country) each year for the last 3 years. We wish them the best of luck!

On Wednesday 11 th December Tiffin School hosted the annual Kingston Secondary Schools Dance Competition in our Dance Studio. Tiffin Junior Dance Company (Year 9 dancers) won the KS3 category with their army and operation Neptune inspired piece ‘Front Line’. They will therefore, represent Kingston Borough at the London Youth Games finals at the Copper Box Olympic Park in March. Very well done! Participating schools: The Tiffin Girls’ School, Coombe Girls’ School, Surbiton High, The Hollyfield School, The Kingston Academy
