Handwriting
Being able to handwrite allows children to express themselves in order to give them confidence and pride in their work. We aim to provide pupils with the required skills to develop a legible style to communicate their meaning effectively through written methods.
At Dundale Primary School and Nursery, all children are introduced to handwriting from the start. We believe this raises standards in handwriting throughout the whole school, developing confidence, accuracy and fluency and improved presentation.
We aim to:
Handwriting Style
A fluent and flexible approach creating legible handwriting which includes careful progression form Nursery through to Year 6.
The development of handwriting has a sequence of distinctive stages.
Handwriting Heroes
Through our weekly ‘Handwriting Hero’ award we want to embed a sense of pride in the children and celebrate their successes in handwriting. A certificate is awarded and a special mention is given each week in our whole school ‘Celebration Assembly’ to children from each class.
Please see our Handwriting Policy for more guidance.
