As part of Congleton High School's Sixth Form Honours Programme, Baroness Claire Fox travelled from the House of Lords to speak with their Year 11, 12 and 13 students about the importance of free speech and debate. The students were able to ask questions, which led to some excellent subsequent discussions in light of current affairs.

Baroness Fox also encouraged the students to participate in the ***Battle of Ideas Festival*** and we are delighted to share that CHS now has a team taking part in the event at Westminster on 18th and 19th of this month.
