We are very excited to announce our partnership with TEDX Tunbridge Wells to deliver the perfect enrichment opportunity for our young speakers.
Year 8 pupils will have the chance to produce a short talk on any topic they are passionate about and present it to a public audience at the Trinity Theatre in May.
Preparation will take place during enrichment and at home, guided by Holmewood staff and TEDXRTW. Holmewood House are proud to lead this initiative and yesterday welcomed partnering schools - The Skinners’ School, St Gregory`s Catholic School, Heathfield and Skinners` Kent Academy - for the first public speaking training session delivered by TEDXRTW.
There will be two further training sessions and a rehearsal day before our Year 8s step onto the stage in May.
This is a truly exciting project and we can’t wait to see the topics our pupils choose to share.
