One of London’s top private schools is teaching children how to speak to adults they find “overawing” and aims to help them during future awkward work dinners with bosses.
Vicky Bingham, headteacher of the £24,000-a-year North London Collegiate School in Edgware, said oracy — being able to speak well — was of vital importance and backed Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer’s plans for it to be taught more widely.
