Phonics Outcomes in 2018
|
Phonics: The Phonics Screening is a check of pupil’s phonic knowledge. It is administered in June in Year 1 and monitors the percentage of pupils who have achieved the threshold standard - the expected progress. 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 2018 was 32 out of 40 marks. |

Since 2012 we have made significant improvements in our phonics standards overtime. The last 4 years reflects an ongoing upward trend and the school has closed the gap with the National average year on year and in 2018 is now above National average, a really huge achievement for us. “Raise standards in Year 1 phonics” (OFSTED priority, January 2015). The school has rigorously made improvements to our phonics outcomes and phonics learning for our pupils and we will continue to do so.
