At St. Mary’s, we strive to create an oracy-rich community, where we ensure that all children feel that their voices are valued and listened to. The children are taught to use their voice confidently to: reason, negotiate, present and explore ideas to support their learning across the curriculum and to prepare them for later life.
When the children returned to school after half term, we participated in an oracy day. This consisted of a range of activities in which the children could develop their oral and aural skills.
Watch below to see some of the activities we participated in.

🌟 Celebrating Our Young Speakers 🌟
We were absolutely delighted to receive letters from Adam Jogee for Newcastle-under-Lyme congratulating our Speech Fest finalists and winners following this year's competition. What an incredible honour for our children to have their hard work, courage and powerful speaking recognised in this way.
To receive personal praise from a Member of Parliament is a wonderful achievement and a testament to the confidence, passion and dedication our pupils demonstrated when sharing their speeches. Their voices were heard, valued and celebrated far beyond the walls of the competition itself.
We are so proud of all 14 finalists who represented St Mary's with such maturity, confidence and enthusiasm. You are a credit to our school and an inspiration to others. 💙
Thank you once again to Adam Jogee for taking the time to recognise our pupils and celebrate the importance of young people finding and using their voice.
