About Oracy Spark
Oracy Spark was created to make high-quality speaking and listening easy to deliver in real classrooms.
In busy schools, it can be difficult to find the time to plan meaningful opportunities for pupils to talk, explain and express their ideas. Oracy Spark removes that barrier by providing simple, structured prompts that can be used straight away — with no extra preparation needed.
We are primary teachers with over 30 years of combined classroom experience across EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. From early language development in the youngest learners to building confident, articulate speakers in upper primary, we understand both the opportunities and the day-to-day pressures teachers face.
Our experience has shaped Oracy Spark — practical, purposeful and ready to use, whether it’s a quick classroom discussion, a small group intervention or a focused speaking activity.
Every prompt is designed to be:
✓ accessible
✓ engaging
✓ age-appropriate
✓ easy to deliver
✓ rooted in real classroom practice
Our aim is simple:
To help teachers build confident speakers, develop vocabulary and create classrooms where every child has a voice — without adding to workload.
