Debating Club
The debating society gives pupils the opportunity to debate the issues that matter to them. All pupils are invited to participate in the live debate that occurs regularly each term. We have 5 pupils sitting on the panel: two proposing the motion, two opposing the motion and a chairperson. All pupils can put themselves forward as a speaker.
So far we have had the following results:-
