Bespoke packages
Want to debate China with your sixth form geographers? Hold a mock parliament to decide whether to give women the vote in History? Put Macbeth on trial? Let us know your requirements and we can put together a bespoke package with resources and/or workshops.
Our team has a combined total of over 60 years’ experience running whole school oracy events, and we regularly run oracy-based conferences, drop-down days for specific year groups (Year 7 inductions and sixth-form days a speciality) and internal school events such as debate competitions and Model United Nations days.
Students who attended said that their understanding of central themes of the play and confidence in ability to tackle these concepts in an essay had improved. For those that I taught I definitely saw an improvement in their final work of the year.

Testimonials
I can honestly say that I have never attended a course that was so effectively delivered. Within a couple of hours I felt completely confident in my understanding of the debate process and I am now really looking forward to setting up a school debate club. Thank you for an excellent session.
I had the pleasure of attending Alice’s training session today. It was outstanding and I am leaving today feeling much more confident about establishing debate and promoting oracy in my school. Alice was exceptional, it was lovely to see her passion and knowledge shine through; I could have listened to her talk about it all day. She really was brilliant.

Oracy coaching for staff
“Lend me your ears”
Classroom presence and impact
Training or coaching for teachers in how to improve classroom presence through public speaking and drama techniques. Small changes in voice or gesture can have a big impact on classroom management and engagement of a class. We can deliver workshops for trainees/NQTs or observe and offer coaching to individual staff as part of their continuous professional development.
Skills for middle and senior leaders
As a teacher’s career progresses they are called to chair meetings, run training for colleagues and address large parent events. Have you provided additional training for these skills? We offer coaching to new middle and senior managers who want to take their presentation skills to the next level.
