In doing so, they became the only team entered to win every single round of the competition.

In a competition which included Harrow and NIST, the Regents team of Kevin, Brandon, Jed and Sung Eun secured a place in the final with an unstoppable sequence of victories.

Samantha Jones, Head of History at Regents, was incredibly impressed by all the students who took part in the competition. "The questions were tough but nobody gave up, even if they lost a game they showed resilience and dedication throughout the rounds. It was fantastic to see all our students supporting the Year 7’s in the finals and amazing when they won!”
