• Year 6 Pupils encouraged to debate topical issues

  Wed 17 May 2023

  Year 6 pupils found themselves debating a motion to allow refugees to settle in the UK today. Year 6 Teacher Mrs Brand was very impressed with how articulate and knowledgeable the children are about topical issues. 

  Melody from Pankhurst class is a keen debater having recently represented the school in a debating challenge at Bancroft’s School. She was pleased to be involved in the debating chamber again: "Although I was chosen to argue against a motion I agree with, I found the experience a challenge as I had to think on my feet. Sometimes it's good to wear someone else's shoes when arguing a point."

  Jessica, also from Pankhurst class, was reluctant to take part at first saying, "I was a bit nervous to begin with as I normally don't like expressing my opinions in front of other people but once I got started I really enjoyed the experience."
