Details
Handwriting training for schools is a training course held in your school. You can either host it purely for your staff or open up the event to neighbouring schools as an income revenue.
By the end of the training, all attendees will know exactly how to progress a whole class’ handwriting, understand how to solve handwriting problems, what worksheets would help develop writing and how handwriting can be fun in the classroom.
If you would like training just for yourself, this can be purchased using the twilight option and the training will be given via Skype. Meaning there are no geographical limitations.
Let me ask you this
- Do handwriting standards vary across your school? Are there some children that seem to be excelling ahead and others who seem to have work hard but still their writing is difficult to read.
- Are you trying to implement a creative writing strategy and the pupils handwriting is affecting the success of their story writing skills? Many schools are realising that to improve story writing they need to be improving their handwriting standards as well.
- Are you looking to have one handwriting approach across your school? Teaching handwriting is rarely given the priority that it deserves and yet is one method of assessment schools are being measured by.
- Do you fear that some of your pupils are failing at writing? Some children can be asked a question and answer it with beautiful detail yet their written answers show a lack of understanding because they have hardly written anything. There is often a developmental cause for this that is easily fixable.

I’ve learned a lot of new stuff on handwriting techniques that I can apply…I will take every bit of information away from this and apply it.

It was so useful to look at progression and the things to look out for to suggest why a child is struggling
Cathy Loebig, SEN Intervention teacher, Mile Cross Primary, Norfolk. –
I feel I am better equipped to support children who have challenges with handwriting
Laura Burrows, Raleigh Infants, Thretford. –
It was so useful having an expert you could ask real q’s and get real answers.

Everything was excellent – I had no idea I knew so little, it all completely made sense and I’m excited to take it all back.

Sheilagh has made the whole process so easy right from the start. She is very professional and has always offered very timely and effective support from booking the training day to receiving online support through her website. All of our staff came out of the training day feeling enthusiastic and confident with the knowledge they had acquired during the day. There were lots of hands-on practical activities, and easy to make resources and ideas. She is very knowledgeable and links her ideas and activities to proven research. We have really enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her.

Practical useful activities that can actually be used in school. Good explanations of why children struggle to learn certain things.
