Competing against some tough schools who were very experienced having taken part several times previously, Q3 Academy outshone on the day.
Our defence won the first case as our defendant was found not guilty. We scored higher than the winner from the previous 3 years, which was a massive achievement for our students.
The latest edition of the FoQus newsletter is now available, featuring a showcase of students’ work and successes over the last term.

Another sporting achievement for Q3 Academy student Lewis Bradbury, who battled his way to be awarded the Bronze medal for his efforts at the Yorkshire Open Karate Championships.
