End of Year Two – 2025

At the end of Year Two, children who did not pass the Phonics Screening Check when they were in Year One, had to resit the check. By the end of Year Two in 2025, two out of the four children who did not pass at the end of Year One, passed at the end of Year Two.

At the end of each Key Stage children are judged to be working at the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics. Some children may be judged to be working above the expected standard and some may be assessed to be working below the standard.

At the end of Key Stage One (Year Two) the assessment is based on the class teacher’s assessment of the children’s ability.
