Handwriting
Handwriting
At Moseley Church of England Primary School our aim is to support the development of fine motor skills and handwriting proficiency amongst all of our children, encouraging them to take pride in the presentation of their work and build a crucial life skill.
Progression of handwriting at Moseley CE Primary School:
EYFS - Structured programme to introduce handwriting to Early Years pupils.
KS1 - Resources to teach other character sets and to reinforce and practise handwriting.
KS2 - Exercises to promote fluent and legible handwriting to help reach National Curriculum expectations.

|
| Delivery |
· In order to provide consistency and rigor, we have introduced tri-lined handwriting paper exercise books, across the curriculum. This is to provide consistent practice for the children, in every lesson, and not just for a one off lesson each week. · When children are ready, they will return to writing on every line. · Children in Year 6 will be encouraged to use a handwriting pen as they progress through the year.

|
| Assessment |
· Assessment is ongoing- we do not ‘test’ handwriting · During lessons, the teacher/TA, will help and support the children where necessary. · Any children needing extra interventions may be given a focused time to practice in a 1:1 situation. |
