Wakefield Girls’ High School has achieved national acclaim by securing first place in a prestigious competition to find the UK’s most knowledgeable pupils.

The contest, organized by What on Earth Magazine, saw 300 schools from across the country enter four-person teams, culminating in an electrifying live final at Stationers’ Hall in London. The competition’s secondary school category ended with Wakefield Girls’ High School emerging victorious, defeating finalists from The Harvey Grammar School in Folkestone, Kent, to claim the top prize.

This year, over 300 schools participated, and our fantastic team emerged victorious, winning the Senior National Competition. What an incredible achievement by Rebecca, Azariah, Amelia, and Dominique! We couldn’t be prouder of them. A  special thankyou to Ms. Keegan-Phipps for organising this event and continuing to empower our students and make us all very proud.

Their dedication and hard work truly paid off. As a late entry, they had less time to prepare and revise compared to many other schools, making this achievement even more special. Everyone at WGSF is incredibly proud of you all!
