Key Stage 1 2025
The Phonics Screening Check (PSC) is statutory for all Year 1 pupils registered at state-funded maintained schools, special schools or academies, including free schools, in England.
The PSC is a short reading assessment designed to check children's phonics knowledge and confirm whether each child is making the progress expected in the national curriculum.

| Year 1 | 93% | 80% | +13% |
Key Stage 2
At the end of key stage 2 (KS2), the national curriculum assessments are statutory for all year 6 pupils registered at state-funded maintained schools, special schools or academies, including free schools, in England.
Children will take national curriculum assessments (commonly referred to ‘SATs) in:
-
English grammar, punctuation and spelling
-
English reading
-
Mathematics
There are no tests for English writing at the end of KS2, but performance will be reported as a teacher assessment judgement based on each child’s overall work and performance against the Teacher Assessment Framework for Writing.
