Public Speaking
Structuring ideas and speaking clearly and confidently to an audience.
Who it's for
Children can begin training from Grade 1. Every child develops differently. Our coaches assess each learner's interests, readiness and abilities to recommend the right starting level and training pathway.
Exercises start small and in a supportive group, so learners who feel shy can progress at their own pace.

Questions
Who is Public Speaking for?
Children in partner-school programmes and academy groups. Children can begin training from Grade 1. Every child develops differently. Our coaches assess each learner's interests, readiness and abilities to recommend the right starting level and training pathway. Exercises start small and in a supportive group, so learners who feel shy can progress at their own pace. Adult classes are arranged on request.
How is progress measured?
Coaches assess structure, voice and pace, body language and audience engagement against defined criteria. Progress is shared with families through coach feedback and term reports.
Where does it run?
At partner schools, academies and communities. Tell us where you are and we will confirm what runs near you.
My child is very shy. Will this help?
Many learners start shy. Short, supported exercises build confidence step by step before longer talks.
