In recent weeks, Bromley High School’s senior debating society has been running a partnership project alongside Langley Park School for Girls, using our debating society’s now considerable skills and experience to train and support a group of Year 8 pupils at Langley.
This has been with the aim of fostering a debating culture in local schools and supporting students beyond Bromley High School in accessing everything which debating has to offer. We have certainly been successful in generating some enthusiastic and talented young debaters, and enjoyed some impassioned debating via Zoom!
Special commendation must go to Hannah and Amelie in Year 11 who have volunteered several Friday evenings for the project, providing advice, feedback, and even performing a model debate. Hannah and Amelie have now formed quite a bond with Langley Park’s Year 8 pupils, as well as developing their leadership and mentoring skills.
