Debate Team Success

Debating is an important and popular offering in the co-curricular programme here at South Lee Prep 

Years 7 and 8 pupils from Greshams The Perse, Langley, Culford and South Lee to join our own students for two rounds of spirited discussion.

The standard of argument, confidence, and teamwork was outstanding throughout, with every student showcasing their developing oracy skills, which is a real focus for us this year. Oracy is about finding your voice - it helps young people grow in confidence, think clearly, and share their ideas with others. These skills do not just help in school, they prepare students for life beyond the classroom.

After much lively discussion, the final debate was contested between South Lee Prep and Gresham's on the motion: 'This House believes technology will do more to help than harm our future'. Both teams impressed with their clear reasoning and persuasive delivery, but it was South Lee Prep  who emerged as the overall winners.
