Weekly Spelling Challenge
Each week all students from Years 7 through to Year 11 will complete a weekly spelling challenge during registration on Friday morning. A set of 10 words will be issued each Monday for students in Key Stage Three with a separate set of words issued for students in Key Stage Four.
Students will have the opportunity to revise the words during the week before being tested on Friday morning and we hope that parents will become involved in the process of learning the spellings during the week.
Students' scores will be tracked throughout the year which will allow us to put effective intervention in place for anybody who needs additional help. Rewards will also be given to the best and most improved spellers.
