Named after a former Head of Lower School, the late Mrs Sue Neale, the Neale Shield is awarded to the winners of the annual Lower School Lit Quiz competition, which has been contested since 2015. The 2025 version of the event was an absolute stunner, with a series of heats resulting in 6USC being declared champions. This is only the second time in a decade a Year 6 team has triumphed, following 6USC in 2023.
Our winners were: 6USC (Year 6 winners), 7LAW (Year 7 winners), 8TJM (Year 8 winners)
Grand Final scores:
- 1st 6USC 37 (Neale Shield winners)
- 2nd 7MSH 36
- 3rd 8TJM 33
- 4th 7LAW 23
This was an exceptionally close competition and well done to all four teams for their part in a highly memorable and ultra-close final. Watch the Reel from the event here.
The quiz season is far from over, on the 18th of March eight of our strongest quizzers will be competing in the south London heat of the National Reading Championship Quiz. Emanuel are currently national champions, but need to win the highly competitive south London heat for the opportunity to defend our crown next June.
