Delivered by Equalitas in partnership with Charlton Athletic Community Trust, the Oracy Cup gives pupils aged 9–15 the opportunity to develop confidence, clarity and creativity through structured speaking and listening activities.

Participating schools can now access ready-to-use lesson sequences, classroom resources and competition guidance to support their own in-school competition before submitting up to two entries to the Oracy Cup.

Following more than 220 entries in our previous competition, this year’s winning pupils will once again have the opportunity to take part in exclusive Charlton Athletic experiences.
