Oracy
Oracy is a key focus across our school and is embedded in all lessons and daily routines. Children are given regular opportunities to develop their speaking and listening skills through discussion, collaboration and meaningful talk in every subject.
Our Oracy Ambassadors help promote effective communication across the school, while classroom oracy displays provide children with clear prompts and strategies to support high-quality talk. We also have a dedicated oracy display in the lunch hall, featuring current topics and discussion prompts to encourage conversation and debate.
Through our oracy assemblies, children are given valuable opportunities to speak confidently in front of an audience, helping them develop the communication skills they need to succeed both in school and beyond.

Oracy Ambassadors
Our Oracy Ambassadors play an important role in promoting high-quality speaking and listening across the school. They meet regularly with Mrs Robson to share ideas for school improvement, support whole-school initiatives and help launch new topics by modelling excellent oracy skills.
They work alongside the School Council, welcome visitors, support younger pupils and act as positive role models for the Wellfield Way. Through their leadership, confidence and teamwork, they help ensure that every child's voice is heard and valued within our school community.
