Handwriting and Presentation
.At Buckingham Park, we want our children to take a great pride in all their written work. This is part of fulfilling our value to, 'Do our best'.
Our aim is that pupils will be supported to develop a handwriting style which is clear, joined and fluid. Inevitably some will be neater than others, but each child can acquire a consistent and fluent style. Although there are many opportunities to practice handwriting across the curriculum, we will also provide regular lessons for teaching and revising these skills. The frequency and length of these lessons will vary according to the age and competence of the children.
Formal handwriting skills will be taught regularly and systematically through the use of the PENPALS Handwriting scheme (Cambridge University Press).
We also have presentation guideleines for all written work and mathematics work.
Below is a guide to our handwriting scheme, and also our presentation guidelines.
