Wider Opportunities
At East Coker, opportunities to develop literacy skills and knowledge are provided across all curriculum areas.
Oracy and public speaking skills are developed through regular discussions, class presentations, class assemblies, plays and performances. Our Year 6 pupils prepare and deliver speeches when applying for ambassador roles and House Captains lead weekly assemblies to an audience. Host pupils are required to give tours of the school to visiting adults. Our Pupil Librarians do a fantastic job of organising fun book-based activities and have supported with the lunchtime ‘Books and Biscuits’ club.
