Debate Leaders

Magistrates Competition

The Magistrates competition aims to create confident young speakers who can lead and inspire other students to develop their oracy skills and become articulate thinkers with both the drive and capability needed to express themselves with creativity and passion. We aim to instil within each of our students self-belief that their voices and opinions matter and to provide them with a platform where this can be shared and formally debated to create progress-driven solutions to controversial issues.

We are passionate about continuing to develop all of our students’ confidence with spoken language and our Debate Leaders are beacons of excellence which inspire and support others to speak up confidently.

Students then attend the live court event and have an opportunity to showcase their skills in front of magistrates and (this year) the Sherriff of Lincoln.
