Early Years Foundation Stage 2022

On entry to our school (EYFS), children enter broadly below national age related expectations; pupils transfer to Key Stage 1 above or within ELGs (Early Learning Goals) . The Foundation Stage Profile shows that overall children make rapid progress from entry to the school to the end of the Foundation Stage year.

Phonics Screening Check 2022

At the end of Year 1, the children undertake the Phonics Screener Check. The check is designed to confirm whether children have learnt phonic decoding to an appropriate standard. It will identify children who need extra help to improve their decoding skills. The check consists of one list of 40 words, comprising 20 real words and 20 pseudo-words. Words in the test use phonemes taught in Phases 2, 3, 4 and 5. This is the third year of the Year 1, Phonics Screener.

Children who do not reach the expected level receive additional phonics support to ensure they are secure at Phase 5, this is done through differentiated phonic groups and strategic interventions. They retake the screener at the end of Year 2.

In Year 2, children begin Phase Six: children should know most of the common grapheme–phoneme correspondences (GPCs). They should be able to read hundreds of words,

doing this in three ways:

• reading the words automatically if they are very familiar;

• decoding them quickly and silently because their sounding and blending routine is now well established;

• decoding them aloud.

Children’s spelling should be phonemically accurate, although it may still be a little

unconventional at times.
