d. Speaking & Listening (Oracy)
We believe talk is the foundation of learning.
We develop confident communicators through:
- Performance
- Debate and discussion
- Retelling stories
- Oral rehearsal of sentences before writing
- Drama (e.g., Grimm’s Fairy Tales performance workshops)
- Mixed‑age collaboration during English enrichment days
- Poetry recitals, presentations and collective worship contributions
- Children learn to speak clearly, listen carefully and communicate thoughtfully.
