won’t argue with her any more. Ellen has just finished studying A levels in
History, English, Maths and Biology, and will be studying Law at Oxford
University in October. Ellen also competed in South Korea last year, and
looks forward to another incredible experience in Washington D.C.
Jon Worgan is 18 years old and the sole object of Ellen’s desires. He started
debating last year and comes from what is indisputably the best place in
Wales – Abergavenny (population 5). Although it’s amazing, he can’t wait to
get out of Wales to Durham University to study Law. When not debating, he
runs, jumps and throws all over the UK, competing in the decathlon and triple
jump. This is his first international debating competition.
Eleanor Francis is 16 years old and started debating last year. She enjoys
socialising and seahorse breeding, which takes up much of her spare time.
Eleanor will be going back to school at the end of the tournament to study A
levels in English, Religious Studies, Drama and History, which she hopes will
be awesome.
James Staniforth likes surfing, books, Japan, and making forts out of
cardboard boxes. He was born debating Marxist theory with his midwife.
