Success for both islands at de Putron quiz final
After a number of knock-out stages four teams remained in the 2025 de Putron challenge, which took place at Les Cotils in Guernsey on Tuesday.
Guernsey's Blanchelande College came first in the year 8 competition beating Jersey's St Michael's Prep School.
In the year 6 round, Jersey's Victoria College came out top ahead of the team from Guernsey's Melrose school.
Despite not winning, the Melrose team were pleased with their performance.
Charlotte, 11, said: "It feels really good because we are the best school on Guernsey.
"So even if we didn't win the whole thing it feels really good to get into the final."
Their teacher Sarah Morris was also impressed: "I felt frazzled and I was sat on a chair and I wasn't having to answer it in front of everyone.
"They did really well and I'm very, very proud," she said.
