Kerry Coote

Principal of Evergreen Primary Academy

I am delighted to express profound appreciation to Kris, the lead oracy consultant from Oracy-Unlocked, for his outstanding work at Evergreen Primary Academy. Our pursuit of an enriching oracy strategy has never been more important as the Principal of a school with over 90% English as an Additional Language (EAL) students. Kris has left an indelible mark on our academy with his unwavering dedication and extensive knowledge of oracy education.

Kris demonstrated a thorough understanding of our unique challenges and requirements from the start. Their approach was nothing short of remarkable - a customised strategy that integrated seamlessly with our school's ethos and culture. This tailored methodology was a refreshing change from the typical one-size-fits-all solutions. Kris' expertise included not only delivering transformative workshops, but also sharing evidence-based research insights with our dedicated oracy lead, allowing us to make informed decisions.

Kris's involvement at Evergreen was defined by their ongoing mentorship and guidance. Kris has committed to assisting our oracy lead throughout the upcoming academic year, in addition to the initial engagement. This collaboration is invaluable because it demonstrates Kris's commitment to our long-term success and the sustainable growth of our oracy culture. His willingness to collaborate, brainstorm, and troubleshoot has already helped steer our academy towards more effective oracy pedagogy.

In summary, I strongly recommend Oracy-Unlocked's services to every school seeking a meaningful transformation in their oracy strategy. Kris' presence at Evergreen Primary Academy has been critical - a collaboration of expertise, empathy, and innovation that has left an indelible mark on our journey. Thanks to Kris's outstanding contribution, our school's oracy culture is now poised to thrive.
