Voice 21

Voice 21 believe that schools have the power to change a child’s life and create a fairer society. They support schools to build oracy into the curriculum, teaching and learning and wider school life. Oracy is the ability to articulate ideas, develop understanding and engage with others through spoken language and listening. Oracy skills set children up for success in school and life.

In Voice 21 schools, you will hear students solving problems collaboratively in maths and dissecting arguments in history, talking through conflicts in the playground and leading assemblies. Like reading, writing and maths, children can learn oracy skills and they are vital to every aspect of school, work and creating healthy relationships with other people.

We are excited to be able to plan and implement this Oracy curriculum in 24/25.

As a starting point the school have completed an audit, a staff questionnaire and also a pupil questionnaire to use to inform our journey moving forward.

The Key staff will be completing the full training in December so look out for our next steps and actions!
