**The National Reading Champions Quiz is an event that has been running for five years by the National Literacy Trust with more than 2,000 keen readers each year from across the UK participating.**

Mount Carmel entered a team for the second year and they were quizzed on their book knowledge in one of 23 fun online regional heat competitions. The quiz comprised of 7 rounds of 10 questions, each round had a different theme with a mix of multiple choice, true or false, free text or visual questions. The quiz was run by quiz master Mr Dilly with the winning team from each heat going through to the finals in London.

Mount Carmel Library Manager Miss Billups organised the MC entry and team and she commented "There were 25 schools who took part in our heat and our pupils performed really well in what is an extremely difficult quiz. We are very proud of them."

The pupils in the team were;
Ismael H. Year 7
Sophia G. Year 8
Fatima I. Year 7
Joseph B.B. Year 7
