That this House congratulates the organisers of, and all schools that took part in, the first Britannica Magazine Schools Quiz Championship, in particular those schools that took part in the finals of the championship on 30 November 2022 in London; notes in particular the participation of pupils from Stenness Community School in Orkney, who were able to make the 1000-mile round trip to London thanks to generous donations from across the community; believes that making learning and reading fun and engaging for young people is a vital part of a well-rounded education; and looks forward to further Britannica competitions and similar events aimed at encouraging young people across the United Kingdom to come together to share their enthusiasm for learning and general knowledge.

“I really love the magazines which is why I am really gutted that all three I have been sent so far have been pinched from the library. I am consoling myself with the hope that they went to someone who really needed them! I will be keeping a close eye on the bumper Christmas edition!”

Emma Goddard, Librarian, Diss High School
