Pre-University Challenge
This week saw the launch of the Sixth Form Pre-University Challenge, an inter-House competition inspired by the BBC’s University Challenge. The opening contest between Holdgate and Founder’s provided an impressive display of knowledge, quick thinking and teamwork as pupils tackled questions spanning history, literature, science, mathematics and current affairs.
Taking place throughout November, the competition aims to encourage pupils to think beyond their chosen subjects, broaden their academic horizons and develop confidence in intellectual discussion and debate. It also provides younger pupils with the opportunity to see academic achievement and curiosity celebrated, helping to foster a culture where scholarship is valued across the School.
The competition will culminate in the Grand Final on 27 November, when one House will be crowned Pre-University Challenge champions.
