Handwriting is a demanding and complex skill which takes time to perfect.  As a child progresses through primary school the requirement to write quickly, legibly and fluently increases considerably, as does the cost of being unable to do so.

Our policy aims are:

• For all pupils to develop a legible and fluent style of handwriting
• To promote a consistent letter shape and size
• To raise motivation and self-esteem
• To establish and maintain a high profile for handwriting and presentation skills
• For excellent handwriting habits to impact positively on the content of written work
