Voice 21: 10 years of impact

Our 10 Years of Impact Report shares the story of how oracy is transforming children’s futures. You’ll find the latest evidence of the difference oracy makes in schools, real examples from classrooms across the country, and insights into how the oracy movement has grown, from training more than 16,000 teachers and 4,000 leaders, to building a national network of over 1,100 Voice 21 Oracy Schools, including 90 Centres of Excellence.

It also looks ahead to our vision for an Oracy Generation, where every child has speaking and communication woven throughout their education to thrive in school, work and life.

Voice 21 launched a 2-year research project to answer the question: How can oracy education support vocabulary development?

Learn more about the research and teacher insights that we’ve drawn upon to identify each of the active ingredients of an oracy-centred approach to vocabulary development.
