🗣️ We're an Oracy Centre of Excellence 2026!

This recognition reflects our commitment to creating a talk-rich school where every child has the opportunity to find, develop and use their voice. It is Abbey Multi Academy Trust's mission to contribute to the wider national movement to create an Oracy Generation: young people who are not only articulate and confident but who also use their voices to shape a better future.

A huge congratulations to our staff, pupils and wider school community on this fantastic achievement.
