The runners-up were Manchester Grammar School, represented by Alex Buckley, Dipyaman Banerjee, Shashuat Swarup, and Ben Cole.
Third were Bolton School Boys Division, who won the competition in 2017 and 2016 and were also runners-up in 2015. This year's team was Ben Hunt, Jude Ashcroft, Laurence Britton and Mihir Patel.
The winners of the Kathryn Oliver Leonard Teamwork Award were Zaraa Dudha, Olivia Waugh, Isobel Rose and Selkie Huk from Flixton Girls School.
