Spotlight – Effective Approaches to Oracy and Its Impact on Developing Critical Thinkers

Leaders and staff ensure that there is a shared approach to developing pupils’ speaking and listening skills. This approach is well integrated into teaching in nearly all classes. Staff equip pupils with the language and vocabulary they need to become reflective learners, fostering their confidence to respectfully challenge each other’s thinking. This approach is deeply rooted across many areas of the curriculum; for instance, pupils use their language skills to evaluate their own learning, engage in purposeful discussions about their reading, and articulate their ideas for solving mathematical problems.
