All students in Year 10 have wowed and delighted us with their persuasive speeches on a wide range of topics for their GCSE Spoken Language Assessment over the last couple of weeks. This year, we decided to celebrate these speeches by choosing one speaker from each English class to go head-to-head in our first ever Orators' Cup final. Speaking in front of their whole year group, Aditi, Isabella, Mayuri, Raenu and Shivani held their audiences captivated by topics including society's dependency on numbers, whether The Hunger Games reflects modern society, the sanitisation of classical literature, and racism towards Indian people and their culture.
