Chilton Cantelo School student, Ciara Munnery, aged 14, has just become one of the youngest pupils in Britain to pass the Microsoft Word ‘Expert’ Exam. Ciara has also passed Microsoft Office Specialist exams in Word, Powerpoint and Excel as part of her regular curriculum work in Year 10 along with other pupils. Kevin Wagland, ICT Subject Co-ordinator, said: ‘I am very proud of Ciara as this is an incredible achievement for such a young person. We have been running MOS at Chilton Cantelo for three years and we’ve already had one pupil go to Disneyland Florida to represent Britain in the MOS World Championships. I hope there is a chance Ciara will get to the UK finals at Microsoft’s Headquarters in Reading and then, who knows from there!’
