How we work with schools
Voice 21 equips educators with the oracy expertise to transform their students' learning and life chances through talk.
We work with primary schools to develop a whole-school approach to oracy education, through one-to-one support, expert professional development, and a classroom, curriculum and cultural approach to implementation.

How much does it cost?
Voice 21’s annual membership starts at £2,475 per year for Voice 21 Oracy Schools. As a charity, Voice 21 is partly funded by partners who share our mission to transform children and young people’s learning and life chances through talk, allowing us to focus on the quality of our support to schools. This means our costs to schools can be 40% less than other suppliers while providing as much or more CPD, consultancy and change management support. Small schools can also make an application for an additional subsidy if your school would struggle to access our services in September 2024. This offer is reviewed annually. If this might apply, book a call to discuss eligibility with our team.
