Oracy

At Belle Vue Girls' Academy we create Confident Communicators. 

We believe that every young person should leave school able to express their ideas, communicate with confidence and speak eloquently. These vital skills are captured by the word ‘oracy’ which was coined in the 1960s to give spoken language parity with literacy and numeracy. 

We work with Speaker's Trust annually to develop the public speaking skills of our students and provide them with the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience as part of their Speak Out Challenge programme.
