National General Knowledge Quiz Championship

Ashfold wins its heat to go through to the next stage of the National General Knowledge Quiz Championship.

This week a team of four children travelled to Merchant Taylors’ Prep School to represent Ashfold at the area heat for the National General Knowledge Inter-School Quiz Championship. The Championship is a new event for Ashfold and it is the country’s largest inter-school competition, with over 400,000 7– 11 year olds taking part each year.

The children worked very well together as a team in a challenging and exciting quiz which encouraged strategic thinking and broadened their knowledge. There was stiff competition between the 11 teams in this heat, but Ashfold, having gained an early lead, scored highly throughout and came home the winners.

We are now through to the next stage of the Championship and look forward to seeing what happens next!
