Many argue that good handwriting is no longer essential due to the introduction of technology in our lives. Whilst at Rushmere we recognise that many of our pupils will use ICT as part of their future careers, we also believe that teaching handwriting remains a priority for us for a number of reasons.
Being able to write fluently, easily and with joins helps make the act of writing more enjoyable. If you are able to write with ease, you are able to spend more time thinking about what you want to write and exploring / experimenting with ideas rather than spending time thinking about forming the letters and getting them to sit on the line.
Our aim is to ensure all of our pupils can write fluently with neat joins so they can quickly and effectively get their ideas down on to paper and others are able to understand those ideas and read what has been written.

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.
