On Top Class today, Hajen, Umama, Harishian and Raya,

playing for Glenfrome Primary School from Bristol.

But who will be top class?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to Top Class, the search for the UK's smartest school.

Let's meet our teams.

First up we have Elsley Primary School from Middlesex.

Despite being so close to London, theirs is a quiet school

with a wildlife area and gardens.

The school has also just received funding to set up

their own livestock farm, next year.

CHICKENS CLUCK, COWS MOO

LAUGHTER

Hajen, are you excited about having a livestock area?

-Very excited.

-Great.

Umama, welcome to the show.

What subjects do you like at school, Umama?

I don't have a favourite in particular,

but I like English because I can be quite creative with it.

Brilliant.

-Harishian, welcome, captain of Elsley...

-Yeah!

Why have you been chosen to be the captain of your team?

Because I'm probably the smartest out of all of us.

LAUGHTER

That's a bold statement, Harishian.

Just by a show of hands, who agrees with that?

Look, you've not got them all on board.

Welcome, Elsley Primary School from Middlesex.

Give them a huge round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And playing them are Glenfrome Primary School from Bristol.

Their school runs a wide range of after school clubs from photography,

to chess and even cooking.

Pupils also run their own newspaper, called the Glenfrome Express.

Ridwan, that sounds quite exciting.

Are you a member of any of the after school clubs?

Basketball club.

Basketball club. I am not great at basketball, Ridwan,

due to the fact I am quite short.

Hope you enjoy yourself.

-JJ, captain.

he's just, like, the best.

Why have you been chosen as captain of your team?

I don't know.

-Very honest answer.

-Yes.

Do you think it's because you can kind of corral

the rest of your team?

I guess so...
