Competing in pairs each took part in three debates. All four pairs achieved at least one first or second place and one pair was only a single point away from reaching the final round.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs Emily McBride organised the debating group and took the students to Cambridge for the competition &#8220;They were all really excited about being in Cambridge and would love to go back next year. I was very proud of them and impressed with both their attitudes and performances &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Concord&#8217;s Sixth Formers were also successful recently, with Xiong Ze and Samantha beating around 70 other teams at regional level to secure a place in the finals of the Cambridge Schools debating competition.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Samantha unable to attend the final, so Emily who is also a member of the Debate Competition Circle for Concord College, took her place.<\/p>\n<p>Across four rounds of intense debate Mrs McBride was pleased to see the resilience that both Xiong Ze and Emily showed. &#8220;Their conduct, composure and thoughtful ideas are to be commended. Although we ultimately didn&#8217;t manage to make it to the last round, we were happy to head home with our heads held high and a formative experience under our belts.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n                                                    <\/div>\n\n                    \n                \n                    \n                        <div class=\"mb-10 last:mb-0 relative copy\" data-aos=\"fade-up\" data-aos-delay=\"150\" data-aos-duration=\"1000\">\n\n                            <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12635\" src=\"https:\/\/concordcollegeuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Cambridge-Debate-Team-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"593\" height=\"746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/concordcollegeuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Cambridge-Debate-Team-002.jpg 593w, https:\/\/concordcollegeuk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Cambridge-Debate-Team-002-238x300.jpg 238w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n                                                    <\/div>\n\n                    \n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- \/.container -->\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_83c14a2d705cd823177ebe0d8d67ff8f\" class=\"wp-block-acf-acf-main-content \">\n    <div class=\"container \">\n        <div class=\"grid grid-cols-10 relative\">\n            \n            \n            <div class=\"col-start-2 md:col-start-3 col-span-8 md:col-span-7\">\n\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div><!-- \/.container -->\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12629,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[9,12,10,11,1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Debate team successes - News &#8226;
