The term is barely a week old and already students from years 9 to 13 are travelling to Glasgow this weekend to take part in the national quarterfinals of The Speaker public speaking competition organised by the BBC. Whickham students won an incredible 10 of the 40 available quarterfinal places from the entire northern region and their performances will be filmed in preparation for the BBC 2 series.
We wish our students good luck as they endeavour to progress to the semi – finals of this prestigious national competition.
