I was privileged to visit this amazing primary school last week. It sits in the shadows of Canary Wharf. There's a brilliant culture of infusing #oracy education within all classrooms and beyond ... as this @BBCNews report by (former student of mine) @kristianj23 demonstrates...
As we launch our We Need To Talk in the House of Lords @RealGeoffBarton , with 1975's Bullock: A Language for Life in hand, gives us a few words about why the report is so important

Oracy is headlines again. It's good to talk. Even better to take action. Oracy on curriculum. @bphillipsonMP
Looking forward very much to that moment ....
Da-dah: our @oracycommission report is out: “Parents want it, the economy demands it, democracy needs it, teachers welcome it and our children deserve it … ” https://t.co/SFj3WgWfKI
We want to do something bold for our young people, teachers and professionals who work with them, on behalf of employers and communities.
We want to help prepare children and young people to become citizens who can flourish, living happy successful lives.
We need to talk.
We need to talk about oracy—what it is, why it matters, and why it matters now, in particular.
We are proud to share the final report from The Oracy Education Commission, including our findings and recommendations.
We need to talk👇

Seemed a good day to re post this as Oracy hits the news headlines again. It’s been a long road to here but some journeys are well worth the haul. More to come …
@juliehes I’m moved beyond words watching The Punch this evening. Phenomenal performances. Phenomenal impact. Thank you to all the incredible cast and team. Xx
‘Love and solidarity towards her has to be louder than the abuse’
Actor Susan Wokoma told @itsanitarani why she co-authored an open letter to actress Francesca Amewudah-Rivers.
The black actress received racist backlash for being cast as Juliet, opposite Tom Holland as Romeo.
@voice21oracy @theESU@MichelaCortese@Dawn_French Watch this space for an exciting #oracy project starting right here ! Phew. I’ve completed an MA in Writing for Script and Screen at @FalmouthUni Now please follow/encourage me as I take my script about speaking into the world !
@fiona_rayment Just listened to you on TLScientific - so interesting! I wanted to ask you if you ever met my Dad - Tom Hayes - he died 14 years ago and was as passionate as you about nuclear. He set up and ran the Preston lab. I’d love to hear if you knew him. We miss him lots.
Heard the Jeremy Vine show discussion yesterday. Dreadfully misinformed, poorly researched journalism. Very disappointing on such an important subject.
Thanks for this clarification message @voice21oracy @BBCRadio@theJeremyVine
@BBCWomansHour So fabulous to see speaking and communication skills front and centre of Labour’s education plans. This is such important news. I’ve campaigned about this for many years and gave a TED talk on it in 2018. I hope you cover this topic on the programme. Let’s talk 😀
