Case Studies<br />
Case studies were conducted to explore variation in survey responses. Effort was made to approach staff<br />
working in a variety of schools across the country, including in different phases, regions and school types<br />
(state-maintained and independent), and in schools with varying degrees of experience and confidence in<br />
developing oracy. For convenience, schools in England were approached, and the analysis in the report<br />
makes clear whether the content of interviews is applicable to schools in England only.<br />
Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted in these schools with teachers and pupils.<br />
These were recorded, before then being transcribed. Teachers and pupils gave informed consent before<br />
participating, and teachers could choose whether they wished to be named in the report or not.<br />
Any pupils interviewed and quoted in the report have been given pseudonyms.<br />
