Imogen Hilton, a Year 13 student, has been commended for her
eloquent speaking in the Bolton Heat of the Historical Association
Great Debate. Her teacher, Mrs Pritchard, said: "Imogen
represented Bolton School Girls' Division with great skill and she
argued her case about the importance of the Vietnam Memorial
exceptionally well. She did not win the competition but her
assured and intellectual argument meant that she was a good
ambassador for the school."
Adam Woolley represented the Boys' Division with an amusing and
intelligent speech about Buckingham Palace.
The topic of the debate was "Why History Matters to You" and
candidates had to choose an event, object or experience and then
talk about it for 5 minutes. The two History students had
started preparing their speeches earlier in the Autumn Term.
