The Kirkham Grammar School House Debate final was a close contest between Fylde and Kirkham today. Sharanyai Barai (Fylde) proposed the motion that ‘This House believes that there should be another Brexit Referendum.’ She was seconded by Frankie Riley. Kirkham opposed the motion, led by Charlotte O’Neill and seconded by Ella Townsend. All the speakers were knowledgeable, articulate and persuasive; and they dealt well with questions from each other and from the floor. In the end, the floor voted to oppose the motion. The judge agreed with the floor and awarded the contest to Kirkham.
