Thalia wins speaking contest

Congratulations to Thalia, who triumphed over stiff competition to win our 2025 Year 7 Public Speaking Competition.

This annual event, which aims to enhance both writing and speaking skills, begins with each Year 7 pupil selecting a charity. They then conduct independent research and write a persuasive piece, which they present to their peers. The pupils vote to determine the winner.

The finalists then compete in front of an external judge for the opportunity to have their chosen charity supported by the school.

This year, the competition was judged by Miss Harriet Cant, Head of English at Sherborne. Thalia claimed first prize for her powerful speech on WWF, the leading global environmental charity.
