TAVISTOCK College invited primary schools from the area to take part in its first literary quiz.

Ten primary schools sent teams of four pupils to compete with their knowledge of books, authors, characters and all things literary.

Book Stop in Tavistock sponsored the event so each winning team of the six categories could win prizes. Mr and Mrs Church from Book Stop attended the evening and presented the prizes, including the perpetual trophy.

Categories were nursery rhymes, animals and creatures, witches and wizards, hats, a picture-round and myths and legends. The winning team from St Andrew's Primary, Buckland Monachorum, gained 54 out of 60 possible points.

The college was delighted to see so many parents and families at the quiz, which will now become an annual event.
