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.

This pathway contains:

  • 2 days on our Oracy Leadership Residential course
  • Mentoring sessions
  • 1 school study visit day
  • Network meetings with other Oracy Leads

By the end of this pathway, you will notice your students’ benefitting from high expectations for oracy as your vision connects a high-quality oracy teaching & learning approach to them as individuals and their community.
