Monday morning’s tutor time saw students across Beamont Collegiate Academy debating one of our provocative SMSC topics. Students were courageous in their approach to debate and were not afraid to air their opinions. Pupils from year 7 through to 11 were given a platform on which they would be able to voice their reasons for arguing for or against the chosen motion.
Our students were taught the language of debate and they found out the importance of rebuttal. They learnt the importance of preparation and oracy skills whilst sharing their views, thoughts and opinions.
The Big Debate Day was a huge success…we can’t wait for the next one!
