Almost 900 children from 27 schools across the UK - and one from Israel - have tested their Jewish knowledge at the Etgar challenge at Wembley Stadium.

In its fifth year, the annual cross-communal event sees Year 5 pupils answer questions on Judaism and Jewish history.

Pupils' creative talents were also on show, with teams writing a rap, designing a poster and creating a newspaper front page.

One of the teams from Beit Shvidler Primary School, in Edgware, scored 96 out of 100 to win the quiz, narrowly beating Kerem School and North West London Jewish Day School.
