We jump into the power of oracy and its impact on learning. Specifically, for students from financially challenged backgrounds.ConnectTwitterBioDaniel Thomas is the head of oracy 4 - 18 and a senior leader at School 21. Having arrived at the school in 2016 he has helped to drive forward the development of oracy practice within the school ensuring it maintains its status as a world leading establishment.
