Five Year 13 students participated in a political debate, each representing one of the main major political parties: Labour, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats, Reform UK and the Green Party.
During the debate, moderated by Politics teacher Mr Peacock, topics included how to make sure young people can have a successful future, views on migration and what to do about climate change? Then, questions from the audience of Year 10 and Sixth Form pressed them further on their party's policies.
After the debate, students filled in voting cards to decide on who made the best case. Once all the votes were counted, it was the Conservative Party candidate, Enoh, who came out victorious.
Well done to all our candidates. It is not easy to stand up and make your argument in front of such a large audience. Especially as they did not necessarily support the party they were selected to represent!
