- Title
The administration of the Phonics Screening Check in autumn term 2020 to Year 2 children in primary schools in England.
- Authors
Clark, Margaret M.
- Abstract
The Phonics Screening Check was not administered in June 2020, as most children were not in school, and together with the SATs tests all the papers from 2020 were shredded. However, the Government intends to reintroduce the check in June 2021 for Year 1 children. In spite of protests from many teachers, the government has instructed schools to administer the check to all children in Year 2 during the second half of the autumn term 2020, that is the children who would normally have sat the check in June. Only children in Year 2 who fail to reach the pass mark will then be required to sit the check with Year 1 children in June 2021 (estimated to be about 25%).
