In fact, in 2011, a state school (Cockermouth School) won the KLQ National final and went on to represent UK in the World Finals. They came third and a state school from South Africa won the world final that year. in 2012, a state school from New Zealand won the world final in Auckland.<br /><br />Hopefully these victories will help change the perceptions that Kids Lit Quiz is an exclusive event and encourage more state schools to participate.Lindiwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024587266205397792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-20557110934343822622009-11-30T08:18:52.867+00:002009-11-30T08:18:52.867+00:00I'd be interested to know the proportion of st...I'd be interested to know the proportion of state schools to private schools? A few years back, the last time I went, there were a lot more private schools, and they generally won, and the local state schools had never heard of the KLQ. I began to feel it was a rather exclusive event that didn't reach out to the state sector, but would be glad to hear if this has changed?Katherine Langrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12529700103932422873noreply@blogger.com
