The parents clearly love this school. 96% would recommend it to other parents. Maybe this is the stat that schools should routinely display on banners outside their gates?

@noisyclassroom Would your debating schools be interested in this @ESBUK?

[Debbie Newman @DebbieNewman20]

I’m looking forward to judging this one. When I was an assessor for @ESBUK, I used to love watching the youngest students present #oracy

'Sharing with an audience' is for younger orators. Tell us your thoughts about an object or an area of personal interest, depending on your age https://t.co/aJ3frPAdsE >

[Debbie Newman @DebbieNewman20]

This one would be more to my son’s taste. He loves to “tread the boards”!

[International Oratory Festival @oratoryfestival]

> Thirdly, #SoloActing🎭🎤. Perform a monologue or excerpt of your choice. In all our categories, you'll receive expert feedback from one of our top #judges. One of them @Mr_Raitt is an @BAFTA nominee for📽️ films he made at London's National Theatre! https://t.co/7OyHogGkxJ >

[Debbie Newman @DebbieNewman20]

My book-loving daughter would love this one. Especially with ‘Noughts and Crosses’ by the wonderful @malorieblackman as the choice for 11-12 year olds.

[International Oratory Festival @oratoryfestival]

> Next up, Prose Reading📗📖. In this category, participants can choose any section from one of our great selection of #novels, which have been chosen because they've got some of the best passages for reading aloud in all of #ChildrensBooks & #YAfiction: https://t.co/XuJ1qQzrxz >

[Debbie Newman @DebbieNewman20]

@oratoryfestival I love the poems selected for the festival by @alison_s_coates!

[Debbie Newman @DebbieNewman20]

I still remember learning “composed upon Westminster bridge” to recite when I was in primary school!

[International Oratory Festival @oratoryfestival]

📢Introducing our first three categories in the International Oratory Festival (17 May - 27 May):

First up, Poetry Recital from Memory! #Poetry is (like true wit) "what oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd" and we ❤️ every word of it https://t.co/ZMeg3b489j >

[Debbie Newman @DebbieNewman20]

This is one of the things that has been keeping me busy so far this term. Do please spread the word to families and schools who may like to take part.

[International Oratory Festival @oratoryfestival]
