Scaling voice and oracy work: A case study from Cabot Learning Federation
Fluency in speech and oracy underpins learning, confidence, and agency – but how can their development be embedded across a whole trust? Georgina Cook from Renaissance will frame the national challenge, sharing findings from their recent research. Leaders from the Cabot Learning Federation will then share how they have embedded a framework that has evolved in the last three years from 22 to 36 schools of diverse contexts, culminating in a case study from a primary Centre of Excellence. Attendees will benefit from an exploration of what works, where challenges lie, and how to sustain improvement.
