The Year 1 phonics screening check took place in June 2012 for the first time. The expected level was for children to score 32 out of 40 words. The results are added to your Raise Online data and are available for Ofsted Inspectors. Children who don’t reach the expected level will be retested in the following year.

What are you doing to ensure that your current Y1 pupils reach the expected level in June?

What are you doing to support the current Y2 pupils who didn’t reach the expected level?

We have an online course that will help you address these issues. The teachers who took our course reported that an average of 70% of their pupils scored the expected level.

One teacher said: ‘The online course was invaluable as it provided more information and resources.'
These are the results:
25 children underwent the check
20 reached the expected levels (5 of these got the highest score)
4 were disapplied because new to the language'
