The competition was closely contested, with pupils demonstrating excellent teamwork, enthusiasm and a genuine passion for reading. Supporters cheered on their classmates as teams battled for the title of Big Book Quiz champions.
Miss Newman praised the participants, saying:
"I was incredibly impressed by the enthusiasm and knowledge shown by all of the Year 7 pupils. It was wonderful to see so many students engaging with books and working together so well. They should all be very proud of their efforts."
Congratulations to Form 7C, who were crowned the Big Book Quiz 2026 Champions after an outstanding performance throughout the competition. Their impressive knowledge, teamwork and determination saw them emerge victorious in a closely fought contest.
The event was a great success, highlighting the importance of reading for pleasure while giving pupils the opportunity to celebrate their love of literature in a fun and competitive environment.
