Oracy is a significant focus as we endeavour to find innovative and new ways to improve the communications skills of our students here at Loose. Oracy gives every child the opportunity to find their voice, to articulate their ideas clearly and coherently and to develop their understanding of what a good discussion looks like.

As we continue developing our Oracy provision at Loose, we seek to combine the benefits of talking, listening and storytelling within our curriculum. In doing so, we believe that children will build their vocabulary, learn to express their thoughts, and better understand the structure of language.

As is the case across our Literacy curriculum, our desire is that this Oracy focus will equip our children to be successful and valuable citizens. Effective communication skills and teamwork and highly sought after by employees so by developing the oracy skills of our students, we are helping to prepare them for their future lives.
