How we teach spelling

In addition to daily phonics lessons in EYFS and Key Stage 1 children in Year One and Two complete weekly spelling tests.  Words are chosen from the phonics that is being taught as well as common exception words for each year group. 

In Key Stage 2 children are given the opportunity to practise year group words regularly in English lessons as well as using Spelling Shed and No Nonsense spelling to support planning and assessment.
