Debating Society

LRGS boasts a wide variety of debating options for everyone, from the experienced debater to the absolute beginner. 

A well-oiled machine, the Society runs regular debates on controversial issues across the globe. One such example is the recent debate: “This House Believes there is no such thing as a Just War”.

Aside from internal, personal debates (which are by no means boring) the school also competes fiercely in various tournaments across the county. Recently we were competing in the Oxford Chambers held at Bury Grammar School. The school also partakes in a variety of “friendly” events around the region. 

Debating at the LRGS provides an intellectual challenge to its participants that is not found elsewhere, not to mention a chance to berate, and put down, the ideas of others in a civilised and refined manner.
