At Wolverhampton Grammar School, students are encouraged to engage with the world beyond the classroom, developing the confidence and critical thinking needed to understand global issues.
Our students recently demonstrated these skills impressively at the Concord College Model United Nations Conference, where they delivered an outstanding performance and finished second overall among competing schools.
Students from Year 10, Year 11 and Upper Sixth represented Wolverhampton Grammar School, taking on the roles of international delegates and debating complex global challenges across a range of committees. Representing the USA, Argentina and Japan, our students demonstrated impressive diplomacy, research and debating skills throughout the conference.
Several students achieved notable individual success. Lower Sixth student Veer placed first in the UN Development Programme committee and was also named Best Delegate in the Crisis Assembly. Upper Sixth student Spencer achieved first place in the UN High Commissioner for Refugees committee, was named Best Delegate in the Crisis Assembly, and received special recognition from organisers as an “Aspirational MUN Candidate.”
Further success came from Year 11 students, Gurjot, who achieved second place in the Human Rights Council, while Saad won the Best Notepaper Award.
Experiences such as Model United Nations play an important role in helping students develop skills highly valued in many future careers, including research, negotiation, public speaking, analytical thinking and diplomacy. We are incredibly proud of the preparation and teamwork our students showed in representing WGS so successfully at the conference.
