CS Supercurriculars

I'll be in S6 after the summer and im wanting to study CS at university. my maths qualifications are also really lacking due to circumstances beyond my control so is there any supercurriculars i could do to prove my maths skill? and also what would be good CS supercurriculars.

I was thinking more maths stuff. The senior maths challenge is a good one.

In terms of olympiads, the British Informatics Olympiad is great for CS, alternatively Bebras and National Cipher Challenge (although idk whether you are still eligible for those...)
Honestly, just read a lot of books/watch movies about CS. That usually helps, learn some theory to talk about in say interviews or on your PS.
Good luck with everything!
