Oracy leads and school leaders – have you seen the report published last month by the Oracy Education Commission? https://oracyeducationcommission.co.uk/oec-report/
(My colleagues and I at Oracy Cambridge have published a response which includes some areas for further thought. https://oracycambridge.org/we-need-to-talk/)
If you, your colleagues or your organisation would like to submit comments to England’s curriculum and assessment review before the 22nd November deadline, all the information is at https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/curriculum-and-assessment-review.
