At Heage Primary School, children follow the No Nonsense Spelling programme from Year 2 to Year 6. No Nonsense Spelling supports children in learning spelling patterns and rules, statutory words, common exceptions and personal spellings. Children are taught in a 'Little-but-often' structure which allows them to revisit and review, learn new strategies and apply.

A variety of strategies are suggested so that children with different learning styles can find out what works well for them. The series has clear progression through each year, and is helpful because it splits the work for Years 3 and 4, 5 and 6 into single year groups, building on previous learning.
