Debate Success - again

Our debate team spent the day at Dulwich College on Saturday 5th October, and showed every sign of continuing last years' successes which got them to the Oxford Union finals! They took part in 4 debates across the day with only 15 mins to prepare for topics like consensus media, immigration assimilation policy, nationalisation of legal services and the US election through popular rather than electoral vote. 

Freddie and Jiho managed to not only break into the novice finals, but then also won! They were brilliant debating the use of AI in schools and were the only team considering how it would help teacher workload!

Max and Freddie also got separate prizes for being in the top 10 novice speakers of the whole competition.

We are eagerly looking forward to the next challenge.
