Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge Assembly Final

This week we held the Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge Assembly final during the Year 10 assembly celebrating the hard work and courage of those who took part in this year’s public-speaking programme. Our assembly finalists, Jacob, Mizuki, Eliza, Lily and Kritika confidently delivered powerful and engaging speeches on topics close to their hearts, demonstrating impressive creativity, passion, and resilience. The assembly highlighted the importance of young people having a voice and also the value of clear communication and speaking up with confidence.

We are excited to announce that our two runners-up were Eliza and Krikita, and our Assembly Final Winner was Lily. Lily will now represent CCF at the Barnet Regional Final where she will deliver her speech to a panel of VIP judges from a variety of businesses and professions in Barnet. The Barnet Regional Final will be held at Hendon School at 6pm on 4 February 2026.
