Congratulations to both the Senior and Junior Debating Team for winning the Youth Speaks competition and getting through to the next round.

The judges were highly complimentary, saying the Year 7 speakers had "natural charm and delivery," with particular praise to Aaron, who was told the judge had "not heard a person of his age do a better speech," with "outstanding delivery."

Our senior team, all of whom received their debating colours in December, "spoke with energy and great expression" and were "very articulate and intelligent." Well done to the team!
