Common exception words

Families can use our school Spelling Guide

to support spelling practice at home.

The guide contains the spelling lists for each year group, allowing parents and carers to see exactly which words their child will be learning throughout the year. It also includes the spelling test dates, making it easy to see which list children are currently working on and when they will be assessed.

Please refer to the below for spelling date tests and to view the Spelling Guide for your year group:
