The 2026 Cup has concluded! The champions were Reading School, while second place was taken by the Grammar School at Leeds. Stay tuned for news about next year’s competition!
The Ethics Cup is a tournament in which teams of 14-18 year-old students match wits with each other discussing ethical issues. It’s not a debating competition and isn’t won by proving the opposing side wrong.
Any school, state or independent, experienced or inexperienced, is encouraged to participate, and we make special accommodation for schools that serve less privileged areas. No special classes or clubs need to be organised; there are lots of materials on this site to help get yourself or your students prepared.
