Impact
"The Debate training. was really valuable. There are few things more effective than teachers being able to observe other teachers (particularly when teaching their classes) to help develop their own practice and build confidence with teaching a subject that they are unfamiliar with."
Crystal Waldmeyer, Deputy Head, Orchard House School
The session focused on allowing debaters to communicate their points of view while working on both their delivery and listening skills. Overall, the students had a fantastic time, even asking Miss Keen, 'When is Sir coming back again?' The impact on the students’ progress in debate club has been seen already, not one week after the event."
Jordon Keen, Teacher, Beacon Academy
"I really enjoyed being able to debate about other people’s opinions and seeing how others thought about the different questions. My favourite motion was "This house believes the sword is mightier than the pen." It was interesting to see how their responses differed from mine."

"Debate Club is definitely one that I'll be signing up for on a regular basis. It was fun, creative and welcoming. I love seeing my friends, and the format makes debating funny! I'm so glad to be a part of these classes!
