Achieving Excellence in English Oracy

At Wellington College International Hangzhou, excellence in English is a cornerstone of our educational philosophy. Our nurturing, inclusive space fosters growth and encourages pupils to immerse themselves in the language. Children are constantly exposed to English, not just in the classroom but across all areas of school life. Whether they are speaking English in the playground or participating in assemblies and competitions, our pupils live and breathe the language. It is this pervasive exposure that helps them to develop outstanding proficiency in English, making it a natural part of their daily lives. 

Oracy is an integral part of our culture at Wellington. Right from the early years, we introduce children to oracy to help develop their English skills. This focus enables pupils to use English confidently and effectively, enhancing their ability to express themselves. By engaging in structured debates, pupils not only gain clarity and confidence in their speaking abilities but also sharpen their social and emotional skills. These experiences prepare them to connect with the world around them, ensuring they are well-equipped for the future. 

Parents choose Wellington College International Hangzhou for the excellence in English that we provide. We understand that oracy is crucial for pupil development, which is why we integrate it within our immersive learning environment. By taking part in various oracy-focused activities, such as debates and public speaking competitions, our pupils develop vital communication skills. This holistic approach ensures that they do not just learn English but use it as a powerful tool to navigate and express themselves confidently in the global landscape.
