Oracy at Ormskirk West End
Rationale
We place great emphasis on developing oracy — the ability to communicate effectively, confidently, and thoughtfully through spoken language. We believe that strong oracy skills are fundamental to children’s success, not only in their academic learning but also in their personal and social development. Through structured discussions, presentations, debates, and storytelling, pupils learn to articulate their ideas clearly, listen actively to others, and engage in respectful dialogue. By nurturing these skills from an early age, we aim to create great orators who can express themselves with confidence, think critically, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them.
