The Year 12 students worked effectively as a team to prepare their arguments for each debate competition which was organised by the Burton Civic Society.
The team argued persuasively against Robert Sutton who had proposed that ‘The shadow economy is a good thing’ with summariser, Caitlin Neale, winning the best speaker award. They prepared an evidenced set of arguments that ‘The House of Lords in its present form is an affront to democracy’ against de Ferrers and proposer Michael Curzon won the best speaker award. In both rounds they scored the most points and so met de Ferrers again in the final where they argued against ‘The United Kingdom should leave the European Union’. Abbot Beyne won the final with Adinah Marks winning the best speaker award.
