Our amazing Year 12 Youth Speaks team, coached by High Achieving Coordinator and English teacher Miss J Hughes, took first place at the 2017 Rotary Club, Area Youth Speaks competition on 7th November at Chequer Mead. Going up against two teams form Sackville, a team from Worth and Lingfield College, Marina Billings, Jen Thompson and Nell Foister were an incredibly strong group and delivered a great speech on the topic: ‘The end of music as we know it?’

Ms S McCarthy, Assistant Head of Sixth Form commented, "I was very impressed with the way the girls worked as a team. Their presentation was highly engaging and thought provoking. They delivered with such passion and confidence.” We are now through to the district round in February!
