Speaking Matters

We were delighted to welcome Worth School on Tuesday 9th November to join us for a morning of debating masterclasses. Learning to express yourself clearly and with confidence is such a key life skill, which is why oracy is built into our curriculum, and this was a fantastic opportunity for some of our senior Go Beyond students to take this to the next level. They explored how to plan an effective argument, raise a point of information and rebut the opposition's argument. All while keeping a sense of humour! We are looking forward to welcoming local prep schools to join us next term to take part in their own debating workshops.
