Learning Outcomes

Through contributing their views, time and talents, pupils play a part in bringing about positive change in their school and wider community. Representing their class, school and/or wider community encourages pupils' self-worth and confidence and allows them to contribute to and participate in society. Pupils learn to use language and style in a way which engages and/or influences their audience. Pupils can select ideas and relevant information, organise these in an appropriate way for their purpose and use suitable vocabulary for the audience. Pupils are developing confidence when engaging with others within and beyond their place of learning. They can communicate in a clear, expressive way and are learning to select and organise resources independently.
