Oracy October.

During the coming month we are joining in with Voice 21’s Oracy October on the theme of ‘when talk gets challenging’.
Students will be introduced to this topic during assemblies next week and then follow a tutor time programme of activities on: disagreeing with other people’s opinions, making someone feel listened to and advocating for yourself and others.
During the month of October, students will also be challenged in lessons across the curriculum to demonstrate the physical, cognitive, linguistic, social and emotional skills needed to complete these oracy challenges.

For this fixture, we are offering free entry for under-16s, and any of your pupils are welcome to attend with their families. Please spread the word to your pupils about this fixture – it will hopefully prove to be a great occasion and a good opportunity for kids to experience and meet our players.

 Our team have had a successful start to the season, going unbeaten with seven points from their first three games, and now we are hoping to see as many there as possible to get behind the team and hopefully our players can inspire the next generation.
