Nearly 100 girls from local primary schools (Preston Hedges Primary School, Abington Vale Primary School and Harpole Primary School) also took part in oracy workshops.
These workshops culminated in a final day of debating on Friday 19 Janaury, where all of the local primary schools visited Northampton High School.This day involved workshops where debating skills were further cemented, lunch and a final debate, which was adjudicated by a team of 3 professional judges.
As a result of this scheme, the schools involved have expressed an interest in continuing with debating both inside and out of the classroom.
