Aims

  At Bucklesham Primary School  we believe handwriting should:

• help children to develop legible, fluent, efficient handwriting
• develop a consistent style of handwriting throughout the school
• make all staff consider themselves to be teachers of handwriting

 Teaching handwriting is a priority. Children need to learn to:

• Write cursively with efficiency and speed, without having to think hard about how to formulate letters and join their writing
• This enables them to concentrate on what to write

We use LetterJoin as a scheme to ensure we teach letter formation and joining letters consistently across school.
