for their school in a computer science competition.
Students from The Meridian School, Royston, who

Peter Davies and Michael Heasell represented Meridian
in a computing competition, and beat 20 schools
from the Eastern region, including The Perse and Hills
Road Sixth Form College to win the prize of £1000.
This will be put towards computing equipment for the
school.
A spokesman for Meridian said: "It was an exciting day
of talks, demos and interactive sessions, providing
insight into the world of a computer scientist."
