Lucy Powell, Secretary of State for Education stressed in her speech, the importance of oracy at the recent conference of the confederation for school trusts (CST).
We’re hardwiring oracy into the revised National Curriculum, so speaking, listening, and communicating will light up every classroom.
Well Lucy that is great news, but at NAPE, research establishments and schools we have been urging various government agencies and ministers for sometime to give oracy a higher importance in the national curriculum. So here is a playlist of NAPE videos which attest to the key importance of oracy in primary classrooms.
