What is Phonics testing?
At the end of Year 1, typically in June, your children will sit the Phonics screening test. It involves asking your children to read 40 words, half of which are made up (these are called “alien” words, and have a picture of an alien next to them).
The pass mark per pupil is not known at the time of the tests, but is announced just before the last submission date (typically in late June). In 2018, the pass mark was pronouncing 32 words correctly, which has been the pass mark since the test’s launch in 2012. Also in late June, the words used are also released to the public. Previous years’ tests can be found here. It includes scoring guidance, pupils’ materials, and a practice sheet. Any children who do not achieve the pass mark will be asked to retake the test at the same time in year 2, using that year’s test.

What is the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile?
Children are assessed nationally at the end of their Reception Year.
Early Learning Goals (ELGs) There are 17 different Early Learning Goals (ELGs) against which your children are assessed as either: 1 – Emerging, 2 – Expected, and 3 – Exceeding. The first 8 ELGs are called Prime Areas of Learning. The remaining 9 ELGs are called Specific Areas of Learning. Good Level of Development (GLD) The first 12 ELGs (all the Prime areas of learning, plus the Literacy and Mathematics ELGs) are included in the calculation of a Good Level of Development (GLD). A child has achieved a Good Level of Development if they have an Expected or Exceeding in all of the first 12 ELGs. If there is even one “Emerging” assessment, then that child has been deemed not to have achieved a “Good Level of Development”. |
