Students at Farringtons School were delighted to be announced winners of the London Regional Final of this prestigious competition.
This nation-wide competition for Years 9 – 11 challenges students to engage with wide-ranging cross-curricular topics, which in turn gives them a vital life skill that is used throughout their academic careers and in their everyday lives. It is the largest public speaking competition in the UK with over 400 teams entering each year.
The team of three, Louis Preston, Laura Pollington and Holly Morris beat off fierce competition from eleven other London schools. In addition to winning the overall team trophy, individual members of the team won every individual category in this regional final including Best Speaker, Best Chair, Best Questioner and the audience choice for Best Personality.
The team are now busy preparing for the National Final in Cambridge on 22nd April.
