On Saturday 8th March, 38 Birkdale pupils representing all year groups from Prep 4 to U6 gathered for the annual pop maths quiz at Sheffield Hallam University. Each team faced 20 challenging questions read out over the space of an hour and had to work as a team to give as many correct answers as possible.

Competition was fierce from around 30 schools represented. Our S5 team came close with a score of 19 out of 20, but only full marks was in contention for the win in that age group.

However, top honours for Birkdale on the day went to our Prep 4 team who won their quiz on the tie break! Their teacher, Mr Mason, commended them for their team work skills in particular.

Well done to all who took part!
