THE SHERWOOD SCHOOL

The Sherwood School is a two-form entry community school from Nursery through to Year 6... At The Sherwood, we provide children with a wide range of opportunities for writing across the curriculum. Children are taught how to structure and present their written work and are taught grammar and spelling as part of English lessons, as well as through discrete spelling, punctuation and grammar lessons when required. Children are provided with adapted spellings each week, using National Curriculum word lists to develop their use of common and technical vocabulary. Pupils are taught handwriting, using pre-cursive letter formation in EYFS and Year 1, moving onto cursive letter formation in Year 2 to ensure that they end Key Stage 2 able to use joined, legible writing at speed... At The Sherwood, all pupils have a daily English lesson (or Literacy in EYFS) which is carefully planned and adapted to ensure that children are able to build upon prior knowledge and make good progress in reading,..
