Morrells Handwriting

I’m pleased to be hosting a workshop on behalf of the National Handwriting Association on 16th March at 7pm.

This session will explore what the Writing Framework actually requires when teaching handwriting, including why accurate letter formation is so important and how schools can build secure foundations before introducing joined handwriting.

We’ll also share practical strategies to help pupils develop legible, fluent and confident handwriting, supporting teachers, leaders, support staff and OTs to apply the guidance effectively in the classroom.

If you’re interested in strengthening your school’s approach to handwriting, this will be a really valuable session to join.

On 21st April, Sue Smits, Handwriting Specialist and founder of Morrells Handwriting, will be delivering the Handwriting Matters workshop on behalf of County Council.

This expert-led masterclass explores why handwriting underpins literacy development and how teachers can build strong, purposeful progression that supports every child - including those who struggle.

If you’re passionate about giving pupils the best possible start, this is a session not to miss.

Handwriting isn’t an add-on. It’s a foundational skill.

When handwriting is taught with clear purpose and progression, it lays the groundwork for confident writing, sustained focus and long-term literacy success.

Across schools, we consistently see that strong handwriting teaching supports far more than neat presentation. It shapes how children think, organise ideas and express themselves in writing.

Secure the foundation early, and children are better equipped to succeed across the curriculum.
