The Spelling Bee encourages children to learn their key spelling words in order to compete in a friendly and supportive environment amongst their peers. All children who take part are celebrated and supported. During the summer term, we will have a MAT Spelling Bee Competition whereby we will compete against the other schools in our academy in order to win the MAT Spelling Bee trophy. How will it work? Please take the time to learn the key spelling words (download available below) in order to allow your child to compete in a friendly and supportive environment in which all children can achieve and aspire to be the best they can be. At the end of each term, your **child's class teacher will complete heats with their own class to find the year group winners in school. A MAT final will be held during the summer term to see which school is the *Spelling Bee Champion*. All children who take part will be awarded a Spelling Bee certificate in our Achievement Assembly.** We encourage and support all children - in every year group and of all abilities - to take part. ### Spelling Bee Letter for Parents Spelling Bee Letter for Parents 62 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/files/documents/Spelling_Bee_Letter.pdf) ### Spelling Bee Autumn Term 2026 Spellings Autumn 2026 Spelling Bee Years 5 and 6 69 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/files/documents/Spelling-Bee-Y56-Autumn_term_SM_and_H_2026-27(1).pdf) Autumn 2026 Spelling Bee Years 3 and 4 81 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/files/documents/Spelling-Bee-Y34-Autumn-term_SM_and_H_2026-27.docx(1).pdf) Autumn 2026 Spelling Bee Years 1 and 2 61 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/files/documents/Spelling-Bee-Y1_2-autumn-term_Sm_and_H_2026_27.docx(1).pdf) ### Children - [Class 1](https://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/children/class-1/about-class-1) - [Class 2](https://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/children/class-2/about-class-2) - [Class 3](https://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/children/class-3/about-class-3) - [Class 4](https://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/children/class-4) - [Care Club](https://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/our-school/care-club) - [Clubs](https://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/children/clubs) - [Music](https://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/our-school/curriculum/music) - [Reading for Pleasure- 50 Recommended Reads Challenge](https://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/children/reading-for-pleasure-reading-challenge) - [Spelling Bee](https://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/children/spelling-bee) - [Forest School/Outdoor Learning](https://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/children/forest-school-outdoor-learning) ![The Howard Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/howard-primary-school/images/logo/Howard-footer-Logo.png) ### The Howard Primary School The Square Elford Tamworth B79 9DB 01827 383292 - [Term Dates](http://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/termdates) © Copyright 2019–2026 The Howard Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://howard-primary-school.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
