Key Stage 1

Key Stage 1 Phonics Screening Check Results

In June we are required to undertake a Phonics Screening Check for every child in Year 1. We also have to administer the Phonics Screening Check to pupils in Year 2 who did not reach the expected standard when they were in Year 1. The Phonics Screening Check comprises of 40 words that the child has to read. Some are real words, whilst others are nonsense words. There is a pass mark threshold, which is not given to schools until after the test scores are submitted.
