On Friday 14th March, Year 12 students Anja P, Evelyn P and Paige D proudly represented John Taylor High School at the annual Lichfield School’s Speaking competition, debating alongside eight other schools.
Our students put forward the argument that the UK voting age should be lowered to 16. The girls impressed the audience and judges with a mature, well-researched argument developed by our talented writing team: Ellie W, Shauna S, Mykyla A, Hannah M, Maymunah S, Isla J, Laiba K, Abdullah K, Kyla E and Angus S.
The standard of competition was extremely high, with all students delivering polished, persuasive speeches. The girls spoke confidently in front of a distinguished panel of judges, including Councillor Sam Schafer, Sir Micheal Fabricant, Simon Price, Kathy Coe MBE and Andrew Sims of the Rotary Club and the debate chair Dave Robertson MP.
Our students performed exceptionally well and overall provided a thought-provoking and inspiring speech. Well done!
