EYFS & Year 1 Phonics

At the end of EYFS (Reception) children meet Early Learning Goals. Children assessed as meeting the Early Learning Goals in the Prime and Specific Areas are reported as having achieved a Good Level of Development.
At the end of Year 1 all children's phonic knowledge is tested using the Phonics Screen. All children Year 1 in England take this test. Children who do not meet the expected standard in phonics in Y1 have to retake to test at the end of Year 2. Attainment in the Phonic Screen at Peover Superior has been consistently well above the national average.
