On the evening of Tuesday 9th December, pupils from across the Cambrian Learning Trust came together at Larkmead School in Abingdon for the Trust annual public speaking competition – Mini Speaks. We are delighted to announce that Orest, in Year 5, won the competition with his speech titled ‘Is it a good idea to move from a fully religious Christmas to one where all can join in?’

We are all incredibly proud of Orest’s achievement – Orest always applies himself to everything he does, works incredibly hard and was a thoroughly worthy winner.
