Bishop's Cleeve Spelling
Our intention at BCPA is to develop confident spellers and broaden children’s vocabulary, using a strategy that compliments the teaching of phonics, through ELS. We provide children with the knowledge they need to embrace spellings and be successful with the spelling pattern being taught. Our enrichment activities support the understanding of etymology, as well as each child being involved in fun and engaging ways to practise their spellings, embedded within the structure of the GLA Spelling Teaching Sequence. We will support children to learn the statutory words and spellings, emphasising to pupils the relationships between sounds and letters and discussing rules and exceptions. Aspiration sits at the centre of our spelling, where we encourage pupils to build links and enhance their learning, by incorporating their acquired spelling skills into all aspects of the curriculum. At BCPA we understand the importance of teaching spelling as a life-long skill, so children can achieve whatever they desire.
