A GROUP of students from Prince Henry’s High School in Evesham have competed in their first ever national robotics competition.

The year 10 studentsnamed themselves the Henricans and travelled to the Excel Centre in London for the finals of the Vex Robotics competition.

Although they didn’t make it to the knock-out rounds ICT and computing teacher Hugh Parker said they did really well.

He said: “They were competing against many teams of sixth-formers, and many teams who had competed last year. They did really well in the circumstances, and I was proud of them.”
