This week has been one in which all of our children have focused on handwriting. From Reception to Year 8 inclusive, the children have been tasked with presenting a selected piece of prose or poetry in their best handwriting. Whilst technology has become increasingly integrated into our daily lives, the traditional act of writing with a pen should not be forgotten. Writing by hand has many cognitive benefits. Handwriting reinforces our children’s reading and language processing skills. Furthermore, it forms a unique and irreplaceable part of our culture: handwriting styles are unique to the individual and something which simply cannot be replicated with a keyboard. At Mowden, we place a strong emphasis on modernity with tradition.

We are thrilled to announce the winners and runners-up...
