House Debating Semi-Final

Congratulations to the Debating Society members who took part in the House Debating Semi-Final this week. We had wonderful speeches from all teams as well as challenging comments and questions from the audience. Orin and Sophia (Viewpoint) and Elizabeth, Skye and Sophie (Foxburrow) debated whether mobile phones should be banned in all primary schools, with Orin and Sophia winning both the audience and Judge’s vote on this occasion. In a Pilgrims v Pilgrims semi-final, Krishan and Leo argued that residents of the UK should only go on holiday in the UK for environmental reasons, and were narrowly victorious against strong opposition from Alexander and George. The Final will take place in the last week of term when the teams will be debating the future of the Royal Family in the UK.
