Last week, Adam, Max and Horace from Year 6 took part in the ‘Let’s Debate’ Prep Schools’ Debating Competition at Oratory School. After taking part in morning workshops focussing on public speaking and debating skills, they then were given a motion and prepared their speeches in the Tolkien Room at Oratory. Competing against nine other schools from across the South East, they proposed the motion ‘This House believes that living in the countryside is preferable to living in a city’. The team acquitted themselves very well during the tournament, and were very highly commended by judges, with a team from Rupert House School being the eventual victors.
