Our Socials

A brilliant afternoon at our Year 6 Public Speaking Competition! 🌟
We were delighted to welcome pupils from @downsendschoolsurrey and @feltonfleetschool, who all spoke with confidence, humour, and passion for their topics! From why Taylor Swift is an icon, to a debate on devices and limiting screentime, to the all-important question should pineapple on pizza be allowed?
Special thanks to Mr Keat and Mr Campbell of @epsomcollegeuk for judging. 🎤👏
