We are excited to announce that applications for the England Development Squad 26-27 will be opening on Monday 12 October 2026! This is a free 3-month coaching programme for state school debaters in Years 9 to 12.

This year, we will be running the Development Squad through Spring Term (start of January 2027 to Easter break), rather than Summer Term. All sessions will be held online, with the opportunity to participate in in-person competitions in London with other Development Squad members.

Please save the date and share it with anyone who might be interested!
