A report evaluating the impact of the Voice 21 Oracy Schools Programme on attainment at Key Stage 2 and in the Early Learning Goals relating to communication and language in the 2021/22 academic year.

Voice 21 works in partnership with teachers and schools across the UK with the aim of ensuring every child receives a high-quality oracy education.

In this evaluation, we looked at the impact of the programme on four outcomes: likelihood of achieving the Listening, Attention and Understanding (LAU) Early Learning Goal, likelihood of achieving the Speaking Early Learning Goal (both at the end of the Early Years Foundation Stage), reading attainment at Key Stage 2, and maths attainment at Key Stage 2. We include schools that joined the programme between its launch in September 2020 and January 2022, and look at outcomes in the 2021/22 academic year.
