We were absolutely thrilled to host the NELT trust-wide Debate Day! Six of the secondary schools from across the Trust came together for the competition. Students came head to head to discuss some hot topics, including 'should we still have the monarchy?' and 'is social media a force for good in the world?'.
Special mentions go to...
Best speaker - Tom Harvey, The Academy at Shotton Hall
Best chairperson - Robert Lodge, Easington Academy
Best questioner - Lydia Walker, Rye Hills Academy
and finally... Best overall team was awarded to Teesdale School
Well done everyone, we look forward to next time!
