St Andrew’s Prep sixth in the country
St Andrew’s Prep was placed sixth in the country at the National Junior Quiz Championships in General Knowledge for Prep Schools held at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich earlier this week.
Over five hundred teams from three hundred and twenty seven schools across the breadth of the nation competed in this, the largest inter-schoolqQuiz competition in the country.
St Andrew’s Prep pupils, Sam Coxen, Victor Delaney, Charlie Maidens and Juliette Zeilmaker won through two highly competitive, high-scoring rounds to reach the Finals. The children aged between 11 were far from flummoxed by 40 multiple choice questions worth between 20 and 100 points dpending on difficulty including, “What is the name of the last Tsar of Russia?”, “Which Shakesperian character said, “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.” and “Who was King at the time of the English Civil War in the 17th Century?”
London Prep School, The Hall, took the top spot but the next five schools were not far behind and St Andrew’s can take comfort in the fact that they beat Dulwich College Junior School who beat them in the semi final.
