Spoken Language Grand Final

As part of their studies in English at GCSE, our Year 10 students complete a Spoken Language Assessment. This is an endorsement of their GCSE English Language qualification and they are awarded a pass, merit or distinction. Students give a short talk in which they convey their point of view on a topic of their choice. It is always a privilege to hear our young people talk to passionately and with such sophistication on assessment day and the topics are always many and varied!

This year, the standard was exceptional. Oracy skills are a fundamental aspect of English study and we invited the very best speakers in Year 10 to share their speeches at a grand final event. After a very challenging judging process, the following students were awarded:

1st Place: Emilia Seneque
2nd Place: Jacek Nadolski
3rd Place: Freya Goodlad
