Year 1 pupils take a Phonics Screening Check in June. Pupils are asked to sound out and say real words and non words. For example; 'spot' and 'strom'. Pupils are presented with 40 words. In 2016 they were expected to achieve 32 words or more to pass the check. Pupils who do not achieve the pass mark in Year 1 are reassessed in Year 2.

• In Year 1 87% of pupils passed the Phonic Screening Check
