Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys win two awards at the Royal Borough of Greenwich Great Debate

On Tuesday 2nd July 2024 a group of Year 8 students participated in the Royal Borough of Greenwich Great Debate at The John Roan School. It was our first time taking part in this event and they were the only team made up of only Year 8 (as all the other groups had Year 9 students). Our students were fantastic and excelled and out of four awards on offer, Woolwich Polytechnic School for Boys won two!!

Jude H - Best proposing speaker

Leon Y - Best audience member (asking astute questions of the other schools)

Woolwich Polytechnic School for Girls were also at the event and shined, winning the award for opposing speaker so it was 3 out of 4 for the Poly!

We are hugely proud of the way that the students in the team both, speaking and in the research team, conducted themselves at the event. They were well-behaved, elegantly dressed, and engaged wonderfully with other teams' debates and topics.
