The Standards and Testing Agency (STA) commissioned the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) to run a pilot of the phonics screening check with year 3 pupils who had not met the required standard by the end of year 2.
As well as testing year 3 pupils’ phonics standard, the pilot also asked schools to complete a teachers’ questionnaire.
This report presents headline phonics results from the pilot, as well as a summary of responses to the teacher questionnaire.
