Debenham High School

After a tour of the school Dan met members of the Year 7 debating team who grilled him with questions worthy of the Chamber in the House of Commons! He then went on to meet a number of year 10 students and discussed with them what they have been doing as part of the curriculum and some of their extracurricular activities. Dan was impressed with the variety of their work and interests.
