Remove cursive handwriting from the expected standard for primary school

Petition Details

I would like the Government to change how children in primary can reach the expected and greater depth writing standard by removing the factor that they must write in cursive handwriting.

Additional Information

We believe this is not inclusive for those children who have difficulty with hand writing. This puts up a barrier for children who are talented and creative writers but can't write in joined up handwriting. It serves no purpose and does not have a positive impact on the development of children’s writing.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
