Twelve eager boys have joined Mr Duncan’s Debating Commoner on a Monday this term. Running on similar lines to Mrs Bailey’s popular Tuesday Commoner, the group has selected some topics they would like to debate, roles have been assigned (two proposing the motion, two against, a judge, a writer and the rest audience), and debate has been joined! The first two debates – one on assisted dying, and one on the abolition of the monarchy – have taken place, and they have been written up by a boy.
