Mega Quiz

Year 12 and 13 students recently took place in the Lord Mayor of Birmingham’s Mega Quiz, held in the Great Hall at Birmingham university. HGS entered both a year 12 and a year 13 team in the quiz which was compared by Mark Labbett, “The Beast” from ITVs The Chase, TV quiz show.

Our pupils did very well with the year 12 team coming a very creditable 27th and the year 13 team, 12th from the 33 competing teams.
