Entering this quiz has been a wonderful experience,
giving our pupils the opportunity to travel, to meet other children from different backgrounds and to test their skills
of general knowledge in an exciting and modern way. The use of computer graphics and handsets for answering
questions has brought a contemporary 'feel' to answering general knowledge quizzes and because
answers are team based, makes all in the group feel valued and included. The competition is very professionally run and
we look forward to participating with two teams next year. In my opinion, it is one of the best competitions that we have
entered in the last ten years and joining will bring a great deal of pleasure, excitement and real intellectual challenge
to your pupils.'

Quiz Club is a terrific experience for the children. It is superbly organised with amazing visuals and a range
of challenging questions that captivate the audience and engage the children. We have been involved for three years now and
it is wonderful to see the excitement amongst the children and the different types of children the competition attracts. I
highly recommend it!

Quiz Club offer a fantastic experience for Primary age pupils. The Quiz is something our
pupils look forward to each year. We have used the annual experience as a way of auditing the general knowledge of our pupils,
and as a significant method of improving it. All KS2 pupils take part in the trials to get onto the final team, so it's
not just the Gifted and Talented involved. It's an exciting and enlightening process. The Inter School Quiz itself is
educational, ticks all the Gifted and Talented boxes and is an ideal way to promote teamwork. Perhaps more importantly, it
is genuinely great fun too!'
Geraint Clarke, Brentry Primary School, Bristol
We have introduced the idea of the quiz club to our children three years ago. They
have all found it to be both interesting and great fun. It allows for “inclusion” since all pupils are able to
participate through the use of the hand held remotes and enter their answers anonymously. It enables them to engage in a learning
situation whilst having fun and eliminates any fear and anxiety. The Quiz has always been professionally organised and managed
by the Quizmaster who engages with the children through his humour. The children are all reassured and encouraged to participate
as fully as they can. The lives of our pupils have certainly been enriched by this event.

This was our first year in the Quiz Competition and the children are already asking
about next year - always a sign that it’s made a positive impact!! Our children enjoyed doing the
original qualifier quiz provided by Quiz Club. This is what we used to choose our teams for the competition - which consisted
of children whose talents are not always celebrated as often as we may like. We hope to start a lunchtime quiz club from September
as so many children are keen. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to other schools.

Wyvil School has been involved with Quiz Club for two years. Having first participated in a round held in
Merton the school offered to hold the local competition for our own borough of Lambeth. The Quiz Club events are always well
managed, interesting for all of the children and great fun. What always strikes the teachers is the surprises the quiz throws
up. Since a number of questions require knowledge beyond the National Curriculum it gives the children who are widely read
or who have particular interests a chance to demonstrate their abilities. Since taking part in Quiz Club we have also hosted
a round of the science quiz. I expect Wyvil to have a long association with this organisation.

Quiz Club generated a large level of interest amongst
pupils and parents alike. This is a wonderful opportunity for children across the key stage to compete against each
other and then collaborate as members of the school team. The confidence and optimism of youth was apparent when I was
asked "If we win this, will there be a European competition?!!" Parents were impressed by the professional
way in which the events were organised and by the levels of general knowledge shown by all the teams. Please put us
down for next year!

We
have been involved with Quiz Club now for the past two years and have thoroughly enjoyed holding class and Year group heats
in order to choose our best team to represent KS2 at the local heat. We hosted for the first time last year
and the experience was fantastic. The Quiz is professional, vibrant and very, very exciting with children able
to score points individually and as part of a team.
Karen Keddie, Kings' Forest Primary School, Bristol
We have been participating in our local area Quiz
Club heats for three years now. It is a fantastic opportunity for our Gifted and Talented children to rise to the challenge
of competing against other schools, although it is a completely nerve wracking experience for any supporters watching! We
have been piped to the post on many occasions but come back each year even more determined to be victorious!
Andrea Rowlandson, Sacred Heart Primary
School, Battersea, London
Here at Fulbridge we have entered a team into Area
Heats twice, acting as a Host School on the second occasion. We also organised and ran a Cluster Quiz a few months ago. We
find Quiz Club to always be a very professional and thoroughly enjoyable experience for all involved. Organisation is excellent,
quiz masters are all very professional with a distinct affinity for children and they have also responded to feedback we've
given in a pro-active, positive way. I would unreservedly recommend Quiz Club for Gifted and Talented learners at KS1
and KS2 in any Primary School.

Quiz Club is an excellent whole school
activity with equal and open opportunities for all children across all the age groups. Having participated for the last two
years under option 2, with all of our keystage 2 children taking part in qualifier quizzes run by Quiz Club at our school
to select the team, I would say that it is well worth it if schools can find the money. The area heats
provide healthy, fun competition between local schools. The quiz master is informative, fun and charismatic with the children,
and the children love the technological approach replacing old fashioned pencil and paper (more associated with the dreaded
tests) with the fun and fast interactive hand sets. It is easy to organise, communication is always efficient when arranging
the event and the Quizmaster does all the work on the day. I thoroughly recommend it!
