6. Handwriting
This year we have introduced a new handwriting scheme across the whole school
Every letter has a ‘woosh’ at the beginning that starts on the line before forming each letter
This is to support the raised expectation of children joining most letters in their writing by the end of KS1 and to further improve the presentation standards across the school
