Phonics: The Phonics Screening is a check of pupil’s phonic knowledge.

Pupils who do not meet the standard in Year 1 re-take the Phonics Screening Check in Year 2. The threshold standard for expected progress in 2022 was 32 out of 40 marks. | ||

Since 2012 we have made significant improvements in our phonics standards overtime. Since 2015 there was an ongoing upward trend and the school closed the gap with National year on year and in 2018 was above National, a real huge achievement for us.
In 2019 there was a decrease and we were below National. There was no phonics data for 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID- 19 pandemic. The Year 2 cohort in 2020/21 84% of pupils achieved the phonics standard. Phonics was identified as an Ofsted priority in January 2015. ‘Raise standards in Year 1 phonics’. The school has rigorously made improvements to our phonics outcomes and phonics learning for our pupils. Phonics is a whole school focus and a huge school priority to improve standards and outcomes in 2023.
