Congratulations to our Public Speaking team who on Thursday 14th March travelled to Manchester to take part in the Regional Final of the Churchill ESU public speaking contest.

Outstanding teams from across the northwest saw an amazing evening of team performances. Congratulations to the school from Newcastle who won a place in the grand final in May.

In feedback from the judge, he “praised the teamwork” of our team.

Well, done to all 6 schools who raised their voices on many topics throughout the evening.

Evelyn our speaker spoke on the topic: “Are anxiety disorders caused by nature or nurture?”
