Handwriting

Supporting your child with their handwriting development is a great way for us to work together to set your child up for success. 'The Handwriting Booklet for Parents', available below, has been written for our families so that you can learn more about how we teach pencil grip, letter and number formation and body positioning for effective writing.  We would strongly encourage all families to use this booklet so that you can learn how best to support your child at home, echoing the practices we adopt in school.
