| description | <p>The students of this study are mainly FSM Ever 6. They have very little access, other than what is learned in the curriculum, to the best of what is written and said. Therefore, they find it difficult to understand their place and potential in society and lack the self-confidence to put forward their ideas.</p>
<p>The purpose of the intervention was to equip students with the confidence, vocabulary and knowledge to think independently, be able to draw up rational arguments and put them across persuasively and understand and engage with other points of view.</p>
<p>The study is based on the large gap in attainment between pupils eligible for Free School Meals and their more affluent counterparts. Research suggests that many students who fall into the “pupil premium” category have a narrower vocabulary and lower self-efficacy than their more affluent peers. By learning the British parliamentary style of debating the aim was for them to learn to vocalise their ideas in a range of settings.</p>
<p>The effectiveness of the study suggests that the students who took part have achieved several of the aims I set out to realise: greater confidence, creating engaging and thoughtful arguments and an above average attainment improvement.</p>
