We’re great at phonics!
Children are screened in phonics during Year 1. This is not a formal test, but an assessment used by the teacher to check that children are making sufficient progress in learning to read. It is not a stressful situation as it is done in class by the child’s teacher and similar to the phonics learning in class.
In 2021, due to Covid-19, Year 2 pupils took their phonics check in November 2021. The number of pupils reaching the expected standard was almost 95%, well over the national and local averages.

Children in Year 1 took their PSC in June 2022. This was the first year they had been taught using Little Wandle Letters & Sounds - a validated phonics scheme which offers an approach to teaching reading that is rigorous, systematic and used with fidelity. As you can see from our results, we achieved standard far greater than the local and national averages - something we are very proud of!
