Leadership and speaking
Debate coaching
Competitive debate coaching in the formats students meet at school and international tournaments: argument, rebuttal and poise.
About the activity
What it covers
Debate teaches students to think on their feet, to listen closely and to answer with reasons and evidence. Coaching covers building a case, signposting, rebuttal and points of information, weighing and summary speeches, in the common competitive formats such as British Parliamentary and World Schools style. Every session includes practice rounds with feedback on content, style and strategy, and students preparing for a tournament practise its format and the kinds of motion it sets.

Quality and safety
What our team does for every programme
These are the checks and the care we commit to, programme by programme.
- Every coach and every venue is checked by our team before a programme opens.
- Small groups, with each programme's group size shown before you ask for a place.
- Safeguarding first: students are supervised throughout every session, and parents know who the coach is before the first one.
- Parents follow each place in the portal: its status, its schedule and the attendance.
- A trial session where the programme offers one.
- Clear fees: you see the fee before you ask, and you pay only once your place is confirmed.
- Attendance taken at every session; online sessions on a private link that only confirmed students see.
