Leadership Development

Our Leadership Development programme of support will develop a leader with the knowledge and skills to build staff capacity and lead oracy across your school, aligned with whole-school priorities.

Our Leadership Development pathway recognises the vital importance of oracy-specific leadership and equips participants with the skills, tools and experiences to be confident and effective leaders of oracy.

Students benefit from high expectations for oracy as your vision connects a high-quality oracy teaching & learning approach to them as individuals and their community.

“It’s been supportive to work alongside Voice 21 from a leadership point of view. There’s been lots of support from Voice 21 to help me work closely with our primary schools right through to our schools with A-Level as well.”
