St Peter’s Challenge Senior Competition

Junior Competition

The Christmas term saw the welcome return of the ever popular St Peter’s Challenge competition. Each week, pairs of Houses competed against each other, answering an array of general knowledge questions. The entire competition saw great House spirit and many impressive displays of knowledge and quick buzzer skills. The final of the Inter-house Senior Challenge was contested by Clifton and The Grove where Clifton were victorious as Senior Challenge Champions 2017.

The Summer Term welcomed the return of the ever popular Junior Challenge competition where every Thursday lunchtime Houses battled it out in this general knowledge quiz. This year’s final, in the last week of term, saw Clifton Vs Dronfield battle it out in the sweltering heat in a very tense and tightly fought competition. Ultimate champions were Clifton who held aloft the trophy for both the Senior and Junior competition. The team played superbly throughout the competition showing confidence alongside a superb range of knowledge from Manolo Blahnik to Colossus.

Enormous thanks must go to the staff who give up a great deal of their time to help with the Challenge competition.

Just for fun – let’s see how you do: Who is the most commonly recognized patron saint of: (a) travellers? (b) children? (c) animals? Whose motto is Ich Dien (‘I serve’)?
