Handwriting

|
At Rushmere Hall we use the Nelson Handwriting scheme to ensure good quality handwriting sessions take place. Our recently updated policy is clear and precise about how handwriting should be taught and teaching is graded using a 15 point checklist to guarantee a consistent approach is used. The Pen Licence Criteria has also been introduced to double check that children have fully mastered the skill of handwriting before having the privileged of using a pen. Key information is included below regarding handwriting at this school.
