A CLYDEBANK primary school is set to go head-to-head with the rest of Scotland next week for the final of a nationwide quiz.

Primary six pupils from St Mary's Primary in Duntocher will take on 28 other schools in the Euroquiz 2022 finals in the Scottish Parliaments’ Debating Chamber on Monday, June 13.

Over 400 schools were involved at the start of this year’s quiz and following a series of heats, St Mary’s has made it to the grand final stage.

Deputy Presiding Officer and Euroquiz quizmaster Annabelle Ewing MSP, said: “I’m delighted to be welcoming young people back to the Parliament for this event, which helps young people to learn more about our European neighbours in a fun and engaging way. 

 “I’m sure the pupils from all over Scotland have been studying very hard for this final and will be determined to take home the trophy.

“The Euroquiz heats involved more than 2,000 pupils and over 400 schools so it’s great to see the enthusiasm for this competition and I congratulate each and every one of them for reaching the final.”

Euroquiz, which was first held in 1993, sees teams of pupils working together to broaden their knowledge of European history, geography, sport, culture, languages and the European Union.
