Former Norwich High pupil represents OxfordOn Monday 26th September, former Norwich High School Head Girl Rachel Duffy appeared on the BBC's University Challenge, representing St Anne's College Oxford.
'It was a really exciting day out', commented Rachel. 'Jeremy Paxman was much nicer in real life than he appears on TV!'
Unfortunately her team lost to a team from Pembroke College Cambridge but they put up a good fight, scoring a respectable 140, and presenter Jeremy Paxman suggested that they might make the second round as one of the highest-scoring runners-up.
Congratulations to Rachel for being selected for a team from such a prestigious college.
