SPELLINGS
As a school, we are passionate in supporting our pupils to learn the correct spellings for age-appropriate words and spelling patterns. We want to provide our children with the skills to be able to confidently apply their knowledge beyond a test and be able to use these skills across the curriculum.
We currently use the RWI Spelling scheme which builds on the skills the pupils have already developed during the RWI Phonics programme. Pupils attend daily sessions which are short and focused with a spelling pattern or rule each week. Through this regular and consist approach to teaching spelling, children become familiar with the spelling rules and patterns and learn how to apply them to a range of words until they are embedded in their day-to-day writing.
