Oxford Schools Debating Competition – Regional Heat On Monday 26th January, we sent 4 teams of 2 debaters to the regional heat of the prestigious Oxford Schools Debating Competition. Competing against 36 teams from as far afield as Nottingham, Leeds, Repton and Worksop, our teams debated the growth of the life coaching industry and pro natalism policies. The 4 teams consisted of Bethel T, Sriram I, Cristal L, Mark A, Natalie F, Rosie S, Louisa N and Joe W. Only 4 teams get through to the national finals, where they get to debate in the world famous Oxford Union debating chamber and we are proud to say that Joe and Louisa made it to the finals! Natalie and Rosie were also selected as one of the two reserve teams, which is also a huge achievement. All 4 teams were fantastic and did themselves proud. #OxfordSchoolsDebating #DebatingExcellence #ProudMoment #StudentSuccess #OxfordUnion #PublicSpeaking #CriticalThinking
