Phonics
Year 1 Phonics Screening Comparison
Cohort Size: 47 pupils
Metric Holland Moor National Benchmark Difference Achieved Expected Standard 89% 80% +9% Analysis:
Holland Moor significantly exceeds the National Benchmark for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check by 9% (89% compared to 80%). This represents a strong performance and an improvement on previous outcomes, indicating that a high proportion of pupils are successfully meeting the expected standard in phonics.
The phonics screening check is a key early measure of pupils’ ability to decode and apply phonics knowledge accurately. The strong outcome for the 2024–2025 cohort demonstrates the impact of consistent, systematic phonics teaching and effective early intervention. The majority of pupils are developing secure phonics skills, placing them in a strong position for continued progress in reading and writing.
Targets Based on Comparison:
Phonics Screening: Aim to maintain and further strengthen Year 1 phonics outcomes by:
- Sustaining high-quality, consistent phonics teaching across Year 1
- Continuing targeted interventions for pupils identified as at risk of not meeting the expected standard
- Closely monitoring progress to ensure gaps are identified early and addressed promptly
- Supporting pupils who require additional reinforcement to secure phonics knowledge
Summary:
Strength: Holland Moor significantly outperforms the national average for Year 1 Phonics Screening, with nearly nine out of ten pupils achieving the expected standard.
Target: Sustain outcomes at 89% or above, ensuring consistently high standards and strong foundations for future reading success.This comparison highlights the school’s very strong performance in phonics, demonstrating effective teaching and early literacy provision in Year 1.
Year 2 Phonics Re-check Comparison
Eligible Pupils: 7
Analysis:
Of the 7 pupils eligible to re-sit the phonics screening check in Year 2, 6 pupils did not meet the expected standard. This reflects the significant additional needs within this small and highly vulnerable cohort and highlights phonics re-checks as a continued area for focused support.
Year 2 re-check pupils typically represent those who faced barriers to phonics acquisition in Year 1, and outcomes must be considered in the context of individual need and prior attainment.
Information About the Cohort:
The Year 2 phonics re-check cohort included:
- 2 pupils with English as an Additional Language (EAL)
- 3 pupils with SEN Support Plans
- 1 pupil accessing full-time HUB provision and not taught within a mainstream class setting
These pupils faced a range of challenges, including language acquisition needs, complex learning difficulties, and barriers to accessing mainstream phonics provision. Despite these challenges, all pupils made observable progress through daily, targeted phonics interventions. Improvements were noted in phonemic awareness, confidence, engagement, and application of phonics strategies, demonstrating the positive impact of personalised support.
