Woodspring Parliamentary Debate Champions 2018

Fantastic achievement by Clevedon's Debating Team. Chaired by Liam Fox MP Clevedon School provided three of the eight pairs of finalists, held at Churchill School on the 20th April. All three teams performed admirably, with Rory McGuigan and Jack Banks leading the motion for the Government: "The youth today have never had it so good". However, they were fiercely challenged by David Bell with Ruby May-Hawkings and Hannah Filer with Ella Gardiner.

At the end of the evening Ella and Hannah were announced the overall winners - the first time Clevedon School have won the prestigious event since 1999, David was declared the best individual speaker over the various rounds and Ruby the best new speaker. Hannah, Ella and David can now look forward to a visit and lunch at Westminster, later this year. Well done!!
