Such an important distinction to make clear. Oracy is about empowering young people to have to confidence to speak for themselves, to give them agency, and to empower them to enact the change they want to see for themselves and their communities.

I like this visual and sentiment. So true, sometimes it feels like nothing is working or happening and then suddenly it clicks 🤩

All the discussions I see around behaviour in schools dance around the real issue.

Our education system is compulsory for all but functional for far less than that.

We continue to force a large number of humans into a system that doesn’t serve them and can traumatise them too.

Since 2014, we've had seven Education Secretaries (Gove, Morgan, Greening, Hinds, Williamson, Zahawi and now Donelan). If a school had been through seven headteachers in that time, alarm bells would be ringing. Very, very loudly.

Great to be in Sunderland today, celebrating the achievements of the Transition project with schools in the North East!

Teachers. They're brilliant, aren't they?

We love them, obviously.

Yet so often their tenacity and dedication goes unapplauded. That's why we want to celebrate your 'Oracy Teacher of the Year', in association with Oxford Secondary & Oxford Primary!
