Book launch for "Create an Oracy Curriculum"

This week, Abbey Trust was invited to attend the London book launch of Amy Gaunt and Alice Stott's "Create an Oracy Curriculum", in what was an important celebration of the growing national movement to put Oracy at the heart of education. A particular highlight of the book is seeing Denny Abbott and Louise Corbett from Bishop Young CofE Academy featured in Chapter 1. A fantastic recognition of the expertise, commitment and innovative practice taking place at one of our five Oracy Centres of Excellence and a celebration of an almost decade long, powerful partnership with Voice 21 UK.

With Baroness Estelle Morris in attendance and Lucy Powell championing the need to hardwire Oracy into the curriculum, the timing of this publication could not be more significant and is a powerful reminder of why Oracy matters and the difference it can make to young people’s lives and learning.
