The Inter-House Debating Final - "This House believes in a world without borders"...
Priory vs Arion
It was fantastic to be able to adjudicate such an exciting Final of the Inter-House Debating Competition. Both Priory and Arion teams gave excellent performances, in what was a high-quality debate, full of engaging, enthusiastic and well-argued speeches. The quality of public speaking on show from both teams was outstanding, with all involved making fantastic use of language, tone and pace to engage the audience and put their arguments forward. Both teams had clearly prepared incredibly well, demonstrating excellent levels of research to support their arguments, and to counter the opposition team's points. The ‘points of information’ were used successfully by both teams to disrupt the oppositions argument and counter the points being put forward. In the end, it was felt that Priory narrowly beat Arion in both Style and Strategy to run out narrow winners by 3 points. This was a fantastic and close fought debate, with all involved deserving a huge amount of credit for the part that they played in this Final. However, the Inter-House Debating Programme involves far more pupils than those debating this morning, and all involved this year deserve great credit for producing such an impressive series of debates.
