New phonics check
The DfE has announced the introduction of a phonics check* for pupils aged six. Following a pilot in 300 schools this summer, the check will be rolled out across England so that all Year 1 pupils will be screened between 18th and 22nd June 2012.
Primary schools with Key Stage 1 pupils will be able to claim up to £3,000, if they match that funding, to spend on DfE approved phonics materials. Schools will be able to buy these products and training with match-funding up to March 2013.
