Science quiz success for pupils

The Science Championship involves schools from across the country competing in a high-tech and challenging science quiz. Rosie Blakely, Fin di Castiglione, James Durant and Rose Grayson fought a nail-biting contest against eleven other schools and succeeded in achieving the highest score.

The quiz included questions from the solar system to the smallest creatures on earth, from an understanding of how our bodies work to the great scientific advances throughout history and from inventions that changed our world to science in our everyday lives. Parents and children alike are ‘over the moon’ with such a wonderful achievement.

Mrs James, the headteacher says: “I am so proud of these children for showing such excellent team spirit, for representing the school so well and for their remarkable determination, resilience and confidence.

“What an outstanding achievement for our village school. A huge thank you to the class teacher, Mrs Nicholls for her passion for learning and for supporting the children so enthusiastically throughout the competition.”
