Debate Competition at Colyton Grammar School

On Saturday 22^nd June, 6 students took part in a day of debate at Colyton Grammar School. Organised by Colyton and the University of Exeter Debating society to promote debating across the Southwest.

Students were recommended by their English teachers and gave up their Saturdays to debate from 9am to 6pm with students from Colyton, Axe Valley and Torquay Academy. With a lot of parliamentary language and protocols for debating to learn, our students did really well.  

Debating can be enormously beneficial in improving pupils' oracy and self-confidence.  This is in addition to the skills of logical reasoning, analytical thinking and leadership, and we look forward to starting an ECC debate club in the new academic year!
