Debate Academy

We are looking forward to our St Helens Experience Morning, these events are a great opportunity for students to utilise their debating knowledge. At Debate Academy, we aim to give children a voice and participating in events like this provides them with transferable skills

We had an amazing Debate Experience morning a few weeks ago! We invited 9 schools along to participate and we were very impressed their hard work, well done all ⭐

We are so excited to be hosting two events this week, a St Helens Competition Day tomorrow and our Knowsley Debate Experience Morning on Friday in partnership with @CunliffesLtd ! What an amazing end to the week it will be! #debateacademy #liverpool #knowsley #sthelens #fyp

We are looking forward to our Debate Experience morning next week, we have lots of fun topics lined up and we can't wait to hear all the amazing points made! Thank you @CunliffesLtd for sponsoring this event! #liverpool #knowsley #sefton #sthelens #wirral #fyp #explore

We run the UK’s leading fun and inspiring primary school debate programme, helping children develop essential skills in public speaking, persuasion, listening and critical thinking. We offer dedicated programmes that aim to present students with transferrable skills for life.

Successful debating is more than just being a confident speaker, its built up on efficient collaboration and willingness to challenge yourself. Here are our steps to success to become a well-rounded debater. #DebateAcademy #liverpool #knowsley #sefton #explore #explorepage

The construction of a speech can be more important than the delivery; creating the perfect debate speech is the key to a persuasive argument. #liverpoolprimaryschools #liverpoolparents #DebateAcademy #fyp #explore #ExploreMore #explorepage #sefton #knowsley #wirral #sthelens

Debating is more than just arguing a point; it teaches many lifelong skills that can be utilised in real-life scenarios, whether at school, work or just on a day-to-day basis. The skills students learn at our events will stay with them for life. #debateacademy #liverpool

Thank you to @CunliffesLtd for sponsoring our next event! Send us an email if you are interested in taking part, spaces are limited so places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

Here are some testimonials from teachers who have attended our events and witnessed first hand how our sessions transform their students #debateacademy #liverpool #liverpoolparents #liverpoolprimaryschools #sefton #wirral #sthelens #debateevents #debatecompetition #fyp #explore

The countdown is on, only one more week until our first Debate competition of 2026! #DebateAcademy #debate #debating #debates #liverpool #liverpoolprimary #liverpoolprimarys #debateevent #liverpoolparents #sefton #wirral #fyp #explore #debatecompetition

The pupils who attend our events always demonstrate such hard work, maturity and excellent engagement with the different debate topics, recognising their effort and achievements is an important part of what we do. Here are some of our Debater Of The Day winners from 2025 🌟🌟

As we look back on our competitions from last year, it gets us even more excited for our first competition of 2026 at The Hive with @DevParkPrimary and St Johns later this month. It is amazing to see the progress the students make throughout the year! 🏆

Happy New Year from Debate Academy! Here are some of our highlights from 2025, what an amazing year it was full of lots of fun yet challenging debates. We already have more events to look forward to! Thank you to all the schools we work with and any that attended our competitions

Merry Christmas to all that celebrate, from the Debate Academy team! ☃️🎄🎅

During our Competition last week we began with a warm up task and played a game of 'Would You Rather?', where the students were asked 'Would You Rather Have More Time or More Money?'. We heard multiple brilliant reasons per side and in the end, having more time got more votes.

Looking forward to our final Debate Competitions on Thursday to finish the term, what a brilliant first term we have had with all of our partner schools and this is a great way to end the year and showcase everyone's skills!

Here are some more pictures from our Debate Competition last week, what an amazing afternoon we had! #debateacademy #liverpool #liverpoolprimaryschools #liverpoolprimary #liverpoolparents #debate #liverpoolprimaryschool #calderstonespark #explore @HolyFamilyL8 @WindsorCP

Well done to our 'Debater of the Day' winners from one of our Competitions last week, it is always super difficult to choose the winners of these awards because there are so many worthy winners.
