Oracy Programme

LA 32Oracy skills not only enhance academic achievement and employability, they also lead to the development of a whole range of social, emotional and interpersonal skills, including self-confidence, self-awareness, resilience and empathy. Having the confidence and skills to speak up and the belief that your voice has a right to be heard have been shown to enhance our sense of happiness and well-being, preventing the isolation that comes from feeling side-lined.

The oracy programme at The Langley Academy aims to empower our students with the ability to communicate by:

  1. Developing a broad and rich vocabulary
  2. Equipping students with the skills to communicate
  3. Supporting students to develop the confidence and self-belief to speak
