Our programme of Open Learning enhances your school’s pathway choice for the year. It’s specifically designed to promote the breadth and depth of your school’s oracy provision. It’s a varied selection of our expert short courses, downloadable resources, online learning and peer communities that are accessible to all colleagues in your school, not just teachers. 

Designed to complement your existing CPD plan, all options are focused on developing a specific area of practice which you select depending on the specific needs of your whole- school, colleagues and long-term goals for oracy.
