Year 1 curriculum overview

Information for Parents - Watch this video! The Phonics Screening Check - Week commencing 10th June 2019. The phonics screening check is a short, simple test taken by all Year 1 children in England each June to assess their reading ability. Parents can watch our short video to find out what happens during the check and why it's useful. Depending on their scores and the threshold set by the government at the end of the testing period, children may be required to repeat the screen in Year 2.
