On April 1st, we took three of our Debate Mate squads, including 20 pupils from Year 7, 8, 9 and 10, to the London Debate Mate Cup at Goldsmith's University. It was both a nerve-racking and an extremely exciting day and our pupils debated like star professionals, winning 6 out of 9 debates overall!

Our A team made it to the grand final on-stage and beat Sydenham Girls' top team in a very intense debate: 'This house believes that censorship does not have a place in today's free society.' There were many cheers and smiley faces as we brought home the trophy and the A team are now preparing for the regional finals where they will go up against some of the top teams in the country.
