Heats will take place at lunchtime on 1 September. These will be judged by hub teachers, and each age group (Y0&1, Y2, Y3&4, and Y5&6) will send their top three students to the final, which will take place in our school hall. Please note that there will not be a microphone available in the heats but there will be one in the finals. 

At the final, speeches will be judged in each age group by guest judges who will be looking for speeches with excellent structure, strong voices, and audience interaction.
