As is customary on the final day of the Spring Term each year, the whole school gathered in the Hall for our Inter-House Debating Final.

A huge well done to all who participated and to those who made it to the final: Holly and Freya, arguing for the motion that ‘This House believes cancel culture undermines freedom of speech and democratic discourse’, with Istara and Lisa opposing the motion.

They all did themselves and their houses proud and it was an absolutely brilliant debate! Congratulations to the proposing team, Holly and Freya, who won the Danton Cup, and to Freya, who won best individual performance.

Special thanks to our fabulous guest judge, Dr Melanie Garson, Professor of International Conflict Resolution & International Security in the Department of Political Science at UCL.
