Pupils from Larbert High School, Falkirk Council, have reached the final of the BAFTA Young Game Designers competition for 11-16 year old and will attend the Children’s BAFTA awards on Sunday 25 November in London to see if they have won. Their entry, in the Game Concept Award section, has a solitary Highlander fending off attacks from wild haggis with only his magic bagpipes to defend him.

The pupils worked on their entry during a Wider Achievement Opportunity, which runs for senior pupils two periods a week. The class is organised by Computing Science teachers within the Technologies Faculty of Larbert High School and is inspired by the Computer Games Development award offered by the Scottish Qualifications Authority.
