Oracy Outcomes

At Avondale Primary School, we are passionate about providing the best education for our pupils. We believe that the ability to communicate effectively through language and speech is essential for success in life and work. That's why we place a great emphasis on the importance of oracy in all areas of the curriculum.

We prioritize developing our pupils’ oracy skills through engaging activities and experiential learning. Our teachers provide the guidance and support necessary to help each of our pupils become confident communicators. We believe that our focus on oracy will give our students the edge when they leave Avondale Primary School and enter the world.
