Oracy and transition: reimagining Key Stage 3
Thursday 14th May 2026, 4 - 4.45pm
The transition to secondary school is a challenging time for many students. However, it also represents a unique window of growth and opportunity.
The biggest national study of 100,000+ students shows a steep drop in engagement in Year 7, but at Voice 21 we know a high-quality oracy education plays an instrumental role in supporting a positive transition to secondary school.
The Strategic Advantage
This webinar focuses on how senior leaders can use oracy as a high-leverage tool for school improvement - beginning with transition and Key Stage 3.
Drawing on insights from Voice 21’s Let’s Talk at Transition and Voicing Vocabulary projects, we will explore how oracy plays a pivotal role in creating a more effective and inclusive transition for children and young people.
