Visit from Dame Angela Eagle

We were delighted to host Dame Angela Eagle MP for Wallasey. The visit was to discuss our recent accreditation as a Voice21 Oracy Centre of Excellence. Angela was interested to hear from our children about how oracy helps them with their learning and how oracy has helped them to develop confidence in speaking out aloud.

As part of her job as an MP, speaking and listening skills are very important and the children were interested to find out about what it is like to be an politician. Angela was able to meet Mr Cassidy and other key staff, hold a discussion panel with some of our children and watch an oracy assembly in year 6. She told us that she had never seen an assembly like that before. 

We are very proud of our oracy skills at St George's and we love to talk to visitors.  We were very appreciative of Dame Angela's curiosity and her generosity with her time.
