An action packed morning saw three rounds of debating at Imperial College, London, followed by the Grand Final, held in the afternoon at London Zoo. At the Grand Final, teams debated the motion “This House wants the Olympic Games to be held in London�. This was proposed by Brent and opposed by Hammersmith and Fulham. Ahir Shah, aged 13, from Preston Manor High School, Chandni Radia, 14, and Veeraj Thakrar, also 14, from Claremont High School, representing the Borough of Brent, were chosen as the winning team.

University of Bristol wins Mooting Final The Universities of Glasgow, Leicester, Bristol and Westminster met at Dartmouth House for the semi-finals, at which Bristol and Glasgow were victorious and progressed to the Grand Final in the Lord Chancellors' Court of the Royal Courts of Justice. The four students argued their cases in front of a panel of expert judges, comprising Bernard Eder QC and Professor Vaughan Lowe, and chaired by the Rt Hon. Lord Millet, a Law Lord.

After four rounds of mooting to whittle down teams from over 50 universities around the country, the semi-finals and

Grand Final of the ESU Essex Court Chambers National Mooting Competition were held on 24 June.

The Judges decided in favour of Tom Shepherd and James Weale from the University of Bristol who were awarded the Silver Mace. They will also take home ÂŁ1,000 each (and ÂŁ1,000 for their university) and will take up mini-pupillages at Essex Court Chambers, who generously continue to sponsor the competition. Valerie Mitchell ended the proceedings with the Vote of Thanks. More information on the competition can be found at www.essexcourt.net/esu

Phoenix School SSE Scholars prepare for School in the States Citizenship Programme In the coming months, 15 Secondary School Exchange Scholars will travel to the United States to take up their places as high school students at schools around the country. Prior to their departure, the pupils and their parents attended a briefing at Dartmouth House in July. SSE Scholarships provide the opportunity to live and study in North America during a gap year before university. At the briefing, parents and scholars were given the chance to discuss their questions and raise concerns with recently returned scholars. The SSE Scholars and their families found it particularly beneficial to speak to returned SSE Scholars and Mr Michael Dean, father of Eleanor Dean who attended Ridley College, Ontario, as he had first hand experience of the Scholarship programme. The ESU would like to thank everyone involved for contributing to a successful day and wish all of the scholars the best of luck over the next year.

Earlier this year, the Centre began working with the Royal Armouries at the Tower of London and Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnerships to deliver a five-part citizenship programme to children with special educational needs at the Phoenix School in Tower Hamlets. Over a series of visits, ESU staff introduced the children to the processes of democracy, focusing on their role as citizens with opinions, voices and votes. Activities included designing party manifestos and logos to promote their own policies about school life, and taking part in a mock Parliament. The programme culminated with a trip to the Tower of London, a visit to the Crown Jewels, and a discussion on the ways that the children can interact with local and national government services.

It is the first time in the UK that debating has been taught to children with learning difficulties, and the class clearly enjoyed the chance to express their opinions so extensively.


Tower Hamlets Primary Schools Debating Final

5th Annual Debate Academy 146 students and 14 teachers attended the largest ever ESU Debate Academy, the residential teaching course, at Oakham School in Rutland in early July. Attendees were taught in seven distinct 'courses' by a faculty of over 20 ESU staff and volunteers. These included five national coaches, ten International Mace Finalists at school or university level, and several successful schools coaches.

Above: L-R Ruby Hersch, Josh Bignell and Polly Wilson of Olga Primary School, Tower Hamlets, with the ESU Primary Schools Debate Programme trophy.

For the last two years, the ESU Centre for Speech and Debate and Excellence in Cities, Tower Hamlets have worked with 54 children from primary schools in Tower Hamlets to teach debating skills. This group came together on 14 July to compete in the second Tower Hamlets Primary Debate Challenge for the last event before these pupils leave to go to Secondary School. Appropriately, they debated the relative advantages and disadvantages of Primary and Secondary schools throughout the day. The final was held at Queen Mary University of London between St Anne's School and the reigning champions Olga School. The judges decided that the team of Ruby, Polly and Josh from Olga School were the Champions. The persuasive arguments they used to convince the audience that it would be better to stay at Primary school, ranged from the fact that there is less bullying at Primary school, to not wanting to feel “nameless” in a huge Secondary school. All of the children from the nine schools involved with the programme have grown in confidence and ability over the last two years. Events across the programme have included debating in the Tower of London and the Cambridge Union Society, researching for science debates at the Science Museum and receiving skills workshops including voice coaching. It is rewarding that the teachers involved have now incorporated debate into school life so that all pupils can benefit. The support of the HSBC Education Trust and the hard work of Excellence in Cities, Tower Hamlets made the programme hugely successful. Next year the focus of the ESU's primary school work will be in Hackney.

American Memorial Chapel Travel Grant Interviews Seven candidates were interviewed for the 2004 American Memorial Chapel Travel Grant at Dartmouth House at the beginning of July. The interview panel included Revd David Gatliffe of St Margaret’s, Lee, Revd Linda Rettenmayer from Methodist Central Hall and Father Peter Wilson, Senior Chaplain, University of London. The 2004 Grant was awarded to Revd Helen Wordsworth, a Regional Minister of

the Central Baptist Association. The award enables clergy of all denominations to spend three to four weeks touring the USA with the aim of fostering understanding and the exchange of ideas. Revd Wordsworth will be researching Parish nursing in the USA with the aim of furthering the pilot programme which she has already helped to establish in the UK.

Formerly known as the 'Debate Boot Camp', this was the fifth annual Debate Academy, and the weekend continued the tradition of promoting excellence in debating. A generous system of bursaries and travel grants made the weekend accessible to students from any background. More information on the programme can be found at www.britishdebate.com/ debateacademy

Walter Hines Page Scholarships Briefing The ESU Walter Hines Page Scholarships give scholars the opportunity to travel to the USA for three weeks to study an aspect of American education. A briefing was held at Dartmouth House in July for recipients of the 2004 Scholarships, which are funded by teaching unions and associations. Grants were awarded to eight scholars to explore topics which are relevant to their professional interests. This year, these include education for gifted and talented pupils and para-educators for the visually impaired. At the briefing day Janice Moloughney, from the Buckinghamshire Education of Children in Public Care team, spoke about her experiences as a 2003/2004 Page Scholar. During the day scholars also had the opportunity to explore the Page Memorial Library. 3

Nominations for Governors of the ESU Three Governors, Professor Maxwell Irvine, Miss Patricia Mann and Revd Prof Ernest Nicholson, retire after six years on the Board and are not eligible for re-election. The Board has nominated, subject to their consent, Mr Edward Gould and Mr Brian Marsh.

English in Action's year of success

Bye-Laws 49 and 50 state that a third of the Board (excluding Honorary Officers) must retire every year. The Board at present consists of 27 members and therefore nine have to retire this year. As there are three members retiring already, the following retire by rotation and are eligible and have been nominated by the Board for re-election Mr Keith Dobson, Mrs Graham Fry, Mr Michael Maslinski, Mr Richard Oldham, Professor James Raven and Dr David Skeggs. The Governors are continuing the co-option of Mr Jon Dye, Mr Peter Sparling and Mr Anthony Westnedge for a further year under Bye-Law 37. Under Bye-Laws 44 and 52, written notice of any other proposal to elect a member as a Governor should be sent to the Hon. Secretary, Mr John Gough, at Dartmouth House, signed by two members “duly qualified to be present and vote at the meeting”, and by their nominee indicating his or her willingness to be elected. Notice of such proposals must reach the Hon. Secretary 30 days before the Annual General Meeting, ie. by 17 October 2004. Nominations will be reported to and considered by the Annual General Meeting to be held on Tuesday 16 November 2004 at Dartmouth House at 6.30pm.

John Roberts Travel Scholarship

Since their inception, the English in Action and English in Action in Schools programmes have grown, thanks to the continued support of all volunteer tutors and students. This year has been no exception, and the continued support of all of those involved in the programme has helped these rewarding schemes to flourish. Over the course of the academic year, 35 tutors have assisted more than 50 students to improve their conversational English through one-to-one conversation classes.

Above: L-R Lord Watson, Anne Collins and John Roberts at Dartmouth House.

John Roberts, a former ESU Governor and former Chairman of ESU Lincolnshire, hosted a reception in the courtyard of Dartmouth House on 28 July, to mark the presentation of the John Roberts Travel Scholarship Fund. The Fund provides travel scholarships for art or architecture students living in Lincolnshire or with close connections with the County. Lord Watson was the guest of honour and highlighted John Roberts' support of the ESU over the years. John Roberts spoke about the Scholarship and handed Lord Watson a generous cheque.

The English in Action in Schools programme has helped over 50 children to improve their level of English. More than 20 volunteer tutors have spent an hour a week in primary schools in and around London working with small groups of children who have English as an additional language. It is hoped that next year will be as successful. The ESU is always looking for new volunteers to help expand this rewarding programme. If you are interested in becoming a tutor for the EIA or EIAS programme, please contact Mary Dawson at Dartmouth House.
