Phonics Screening Check
Children in Year 1 throughout the country will be taking part in a phonics screening check in the week commencing June the 9th 2025. Children in Year 2 will also re-take the check if they did not achieve the required standard in Year 1.
Follow the link below to a video which explains the process for parents.
