2026 Phonics Screening Check
At the end of Year 1, pupils undertake the Phonics Screening Check, through which their recognition of phonics (sounds) is tested. Any child who does not reach the national standard will re-take the test at the end of Year 2.
Year 1:
| Number of pupils reaching the threshold by the end of Y1 in 2026 | Percentage of pupils reaching the threshold by the end of Y1 in 2025 | National Average
|
| 16/20 | 80% | 81% |

Year 2 Re-takes: |
||
| Number of pupils reaching the threshold by the end of KS1 in 2026 | Percentage of pupils reaching the threshold by the end of KS1 in 2025 | National Average

2026 End of Key Stage 2 Assessments
During a week in May 2026, Y6 pupils sat tests for mathematics; reading and grammar, punctuation and spelling, which assessed each child against the national standard (a scaled score of 100). In Key Stage 2, the papers were marked externally, whilst performance in writing was judged solely by teacher assessment. Here is a summary of our Y6 results for the 2025 tests; a scaled score of 110+ indicates that a child is working at a higher standard than the national expectation.
For 2025/2026, there are no progress measures, due to the disruption caused by Covid.
Please note: The results below are unvalidated and are likely to change after the Checking Exercise in the Autumn term.
