Pupils in Year 9 are set to pitch their wits in a battle of the brains to win the coveted title of MasterMind in Harrow.

Hosted by the historic Harrow School, this exciting event will take place in February 2018 and is sponsored by the Harrow Times.

Entry is now open for the competition in which contestants will be put on the spot answering quick-fire questions spanning literature, science and trivia in the knock-out competition.

Each team of 13-year-olds will also be able to play 'a joker' on their chosen subject round to double their points.

The teenagers will also raise a minimum of £1,200 for organisers mental health charity Mind in Harrow, to take part in the fun-packed quiz.

The charity helps thousands of local people with mental health problems and also offers befriending and counselling services, as well as Harrow’s only mental health helpline.
