Lovely to see Yr7 working in teams to present their findings on Shakespeare’s life to their peers as part of an oracy task. 🗣️ GREAT work!

We held a spooky spoken word event yesterday. Our students showcased all of the GREAT values and their preparation and confidence was outstanding. They read their poems and short stories aloud and the audience celebrated their impressive oracy skills. Well done! @GAAshton_news
