Oracy
Voice 21
We are currently implementing our new Oracy curriculum based on the nationally recognised 'Voice 21' framework across all key stages.
Early Intervention
We use Language Link in Reception to identify speech and language needs immediately, ensuring every child has the support they need.
Tier 2 & 3 Vocabulary
We explicitly teach ambitious words (e.g., accumulate, benevolent, efficient) across all subjects.
Performance & Presentation
From role-play and hot-seating to debates, our Power of Reading curriculum engages oracy from the first lesson, ensuring children have the spoken confidence to become successful writers.
ABC Talk Stems
To foster high-level debate, children learn to Agree with, Build upon, or Challenge ideas using formal talk stems.
Reciprocal Reading
Part of the approach to reading in Key Stage 2 is oral comprehension through Reciprocal Reading. We teach children sentence stems to effectively ask questions, make predictions and summarise texts. For example: "I wonder if / why / how / who...", "I think / imagine / predict...", "The main points are...".
