Oracy

As a setting, we recognise the foundational importance of Oracy and Language Development for all of our learners, especially those most vulnerable. Consequently, all of our classes refer explicitly and teach to the Oracy Framework. 

The Oracy Framework, devised by Voice 21 and Oracy Cambridge, provides a structure through which we can understand what constitutes good speaking and listening in different contexts. It breaks down the skills within oracy into four distinct but interlinked strands: physical, linguistic, cognitive and social & emotional.
