Our trust-wide Debate Competition brought together learners from across our Trust and partner schools last Friday for an exciting day of discussion, challenge and teamwork at Babington Academy.

Learners from our secondary schools took on thought-provoking debates around mobile phones and social media, whilst our younger learners explored important environmental issues with confidence and creativity.

It was fantastic to see so many learners speaking with passion, respect and determination as they put their debating skills to the test.

A huge congratulations to Ravensdale Primary School and Lancaster Academy for taking home the winning trophies, and well done to every learner who took part and represented their school so brilliantly.
