All the teaching team are very impressed with how much progress the children have made with their Phonics in the 2022-2023 academic year. Every child has made brilliant progress and 19 out of 21 (86%) Year 1 pupils surpassed the Phonics Screening threshold. In addition, 100% of the Year 2 children also passed the threshold. Well done to all the pupils and staff for achieving our highest percentage to date!
