Oracy South

As we look ahead to the 2025–26 academic year, there’s never been a better time to prioritise oracy in your school’s development strategy. Oracy - the ability to speak, listen, and communicate effectively - is not just a skill for the classroom; it’s a foundation for lifelong success.

We have worked with Voice 21 for the past two years to develop our children's oracy skills. Over the past decade, Voice 21 has worked with over 1,100 schools, training more than 16,000 teachers and 4,000 school leaders to embed high-quality oracy education. Their impact report makes for very positive reading. The results speak volumes:

• +50% improvement in oracy skills in established Voice 21 Oracy Schools.

• Students show greater confidence, academic progress, and career readiness.

• Oracy-rich environments foster belonging, engagement, and self-expression—especially vital for pupils facing disadvantage.

As one headteacher put it, “It has been the single most impactful initiative on children’s behaviour, enthusiasm for learning and their confidence.”

If you’re considering placing oracy at the heart of your school improvement plan, join us for an Information Briefing on 2nd July 2025. Discover how we can work together so that oracy can transform your school community and empower every child to find their voice.
