Winners in 2008

The winning team in the 2008 PLQ for secondary schools was St Edmund’s School, pictured above with authors Michael Coleman, Andrew Norriss and Ali Sparkes.

Teams from 9 secondary schools battled it out for 2 hours to decide which school would go home with the trophy, and St Edmund’s just prevailed over runners-up Springfield.

Pupils were drawn from Year 7/8 and their enjoyment of the event was plain for all to see. All Portsmouth local authority secondary schools were invited to send teams with four pupils in each team.

Schools that took part in the 2008 PLQ:

• City of Portsmouth Boys’ School
• City of Portsmouth Girls’ School
• King Richard School
• Mayfield School
• Miltoncross School
• Priory School
• Springfield School
