Last half term, twelve of our Debate Mate students competed in the first round of Debate Mate’s Urban Debate League. Students worked in teams of four to debate topical issues with teams from other schools.
Our students raised many interesting points and one team even got into an inspiring debate about how Stormzy’s ‘Blinded by Your Grace’ is used by our school community as a part of meaningful worship. All three teams performed extremely well and our school won five out of six debates.
We have recently been informed that St. Edmund’s Catholic Academy are currently placed third in the Urban Debate League for the West Midlands. This is an excellent achievement and all credit goes to our Debate Mate students. We wish them every success as they enter the second round of the competition on 11th March.
