We are delighted with our results in Phonics this year! The children and teachers worked extremely hard. We are in the top 20% of schools nationally. Well done children!
Outcomes in Phonics
All Y1 children nationally undergo a Phonics Test in the second half of the Summer Term. It tests their ability to read ‘real’ and ‘alien’ / made-up words using their phonic knowledge. Outcomes for 2024 are as follows:
Provisional data 2023-24
Phonics | Hall Green | National |
Year 1 | 96% | 79% |
Year 2 | 97% | 89% |
NB: Those children who do not pass the Year 1 Phonics Test complete a second test in Year 2.
We strive to further improve these results as the DFE and Ofsted emphasise that children should use their phonic knowledge as the primary strategy to read unfamiliar words.
Early Years Foundation Stage Results
We are very proud of our achievements for the end of year Foundation Stage Profile results. In Foundation Stage we are above National average results for children achieving a Good Level of Development and our children have achieved particularly well physical development. We moderate assessments internally with several other schools to ensure consistency of assessments. We are proud of our pupils achievements in Early Years and prepare them well for readiness into Year One.

We will continue to prepare children for readiness into Key Stage One working in partnership with parents. We encourage children through our 'Our Learning Behaviours' and 'School Aspirations' to believe in themselves and to follow their dreams.
