We teamed up with Debate Mate again last week to deliver a full day of workshops and debating challenges for TLP Secondary Schools:

Congleton High School

Crewe UTC Engineering & Design

Knutsford Academy

Sir William Stanier School

The Oaks Academy

This experience gave Key Stage 4 students a fun but intensive boost to their confidence in public speaking, critical thinking, structuring of opinions and responding to opposing arguments. Well done to all the students who took part - you were brilliant! And thank you [Debate Mate](https://debatemate.com/) for delivering this wonderful opportunity.
