Oracy

This oracy evaluation enables schools to evaluate active listening, coherent debate, and dialogic talk. With a particular focus on disciplinary literacy, drama, and oral rehearsal, oracy statements allow leaders to pinpoint areas for improvement and strategic intervention.

Rooted in educational research, this evaluation empowers leaders to amplify oracy’s significance across a school or trust, establishing an oracy culture that will not only improve outcomes but also enhance trust, collaboration, creativity, and kindness. 

Developed in partnership with oracy expert Helen Prince, founder of ChatterStars, schools will benefit from Helen’s insight and experience, ensuring this evaluation can form the basis of any oracy improvement work in school. 

Our self-evaluation allows you to identify strengths and areas for development. It examines: 

  • Intent
  • Implementation
  • Establishing an oracy culture
  • Verbal environment
  • Oral rehearsal
  • Oracy through drama

EMS’s Leadership Evaluation enables all schools to review their culture, climate, and leadership in the context of the key factors that lay behind these schools’ success. Taking an evidence-informed approach, it will elicit powerful next steps for any school on its leadership journey.

Bedford Borough Council has rolled out the EvaluateMySchool SEND evaluation to all of our 70 schools. After trialling EMS through our partnership with Whole Education we were keen to use it to holistically evaluate our SEND provision. EMS is simple to use, and the evaluation enables us to create conversations with staff about SEND provision in our schools and across our local authority.

EvaluateMySchool has been pivotal at identifying patterns and trends in SEND practice, and recognising where our strengths and areas for development are, which has then fed directly into my SEND strategy. The platform allows easy reporting, recording of conversations, assigning of actions and also the ability to upload evidence. The visual graphics allow quick snapshots into progress made at academy and MAT level, as well as identified groups of schools by phase. 

Simon Tanner, National Director of SEND, E-ACT

What I like most about EMS, apart from the ability to personalise the measures, is that it allows me to influence change by providing the resources to analyse evaluation results (comparing them to other schools if I was part of a group), track and annotate progress, and to actively plan improvements – all within the evaluation! This is so much more than an evaluation!

I highly recommend EvaluateMySchool. We used the tools to help evaluate and prepare next steps for strategic development ahead of our Ofsted inspection.  Evidence of leadership and improvement all in one online space!.
