Jack Hunt Academy Debate Team Secures Place in Round Two!

Jack Hunt Academy is celebrating a fantastic success for its Year 10 Debate Club team, who have progressed to Round Two of the prestigious ESU Schools' Mace Debate competition

The team, made up of Charlie Sheppard, Charlotte Freer and Sayuj Dhital, put their debating skills to the test this week, arguing in opposition to the motion:

“This House would exempt family farms from inheritance tax, providing the family continued to farm the land.”

Competing against Peterborough School, and hosted by St Mary's School, Cambridge, our students demonstrated impressive critical thinking, confidence and teamwork as they put forward their arguments and challenged the opposing side.

This is a brilliant achievement for Charlie, Charlotte and Sayuj, and a fantastic reflection of the hard work and dedication they have put into developing their debating skills.

We wish the team the very best of luck as they progress to Round Two of the competition!
