"Reading and writing float on a sea of talk."

James Britton, educationalist.

Here at North Fawdon, we have joined the Voice 21 oracy project.

Voice 21 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.

We are still in the early stages of our oracy journey, but you will see evidence of oracy in each classroom. 

Discussion Guidelines are displayed in each classroom
