Key Year Group Information

Homework

Key Stage 1 Statutory Assessments
In June, at the end of Year One, the children will take a Phonics Screening Check. The purpose of the phonics screening check is to confirm that all children have learned phonic decoding to an age appropriate standard. The phonics screening check contains 40 words divided into two sections of 20 words. Both sections contain a mixture of real words and pseudo-words. Pseudo-words are words that are phonetically decodable but are not actual words with an associated meaning. Results from this check will be reported to parents in the school end of year reports.
