Dear Parents/Carers,

We have recently been reviewing our spelling approach for Key Stage 2 to ensure that it links in with the teaching of phonics in Reception and Key Stage 1, is consistent, progressive and focuses on teaching and applying spelling rules.

As of today, Year 1-6 will receive weekly spellings to practise. We will test these on a weekly basis, and they will align to the spelling rules being taught (or a review of previously taught rules) and the tricky words/statutory word lists. We would appreciate it if you could assist and support your child in learning their spellings at home in addition to reading (on a daily basis).

Many thanks,

Tom Lowrie-Herz (Acting Headteacher)
