Statement of Intent
Our aim is to make sure that every child in our school understands that every voice matters. We want our children to leave St Barnabas being able to talk with passion and meaning for a range of purposes and audiences.
Oracy is woven through our curriculum and features in every interaction with every child, every day. Children are given regular and meaningful opportunities to learn to talk and learn through talk through our wide-ranging and balanced curriculum.
There are also many opportunities for presentational talk through debating, assemblies, poetry slams and in class presentations.
Every voice matters at our sch
Our Oracy Road Map
Oracy is not only about talking it is about listening. Our younger children focus on showing active listening and as we move through the school, children learn to talk for a range of purposes to a wide range of audiences.
Oracy runs through our curriculum with oracy outcomes in every year group every term. Children learn to present their ideas, debate, make speeches, conduct themselves during interviews, act as tour guides and read the news amongst other opportunities.
Oracy runs through every interaction with every child in every class, every day.
