Yesterday we were delighted to welcome Joe Rowntree from 'Talk the Talk', a charity dedicated to developing young people’s oracy skills.
Our Year 8 and 9 students took part in engaging workshops, with students speaking brilliantly about their partners in front of their peers and developing their confidence and presentation skills.
After school, staff also took part in a session exploring how we can develop oracy in our teaching, encourage more students to speak in lessons and increase active participation.
Oracy is an essential life skill, helping students to express ideas clearly, listen to others, build confidence and prepare for life beyond school.
A huge thank you to Joe and Talk the Talk for an inspiring day!"
