Expert trainers from Talk The Talk attended school on Wednesday 9th July 2025 to work with 30 of our Year 12 students.
The Talk About The Future workshop is an expertly led discussion and series of activities to support students to identify their own unique life experiences and skills and then develop their ability to use oracy to effectively articulate those experiences, skills and employability value.
‘We demonstrate that speaking out should be an experience that we CAN do – and one that is nowhere near as daunting as we might think. One of the keys to the success of the Talk The Talk programme is creating an environment of mutual respect with a supportive ethos so that when students stand up and voice their opinions, share their thoughts and present their ideas – their skills and confidence grow’
These Talk About The Future workshops are part funded by the Jack Petchey Foundation.
Sir Jack Petchey CBE created the Jack Petchey Foundation to inspire young people and recognise the amazing contributions they make to society. To do this, the Foundation has invested over £143m in programmes that benefit young people aged 11-25 across London and Essex.
Talk The Talk’s mission is to develop students’ oracy skills and communication confidence to support positive interaction in all life situations and improved social outcomes.
Talk The Talk has trained over 115,000 students to be confident communicators across England and Wales since they began in 2013.
