The phonics screening check is a short, simple test taken by Year 1 children in England each June to assess their reading ability. Children are required to read 40 words, some of which will be nonsense words. The test enables us to ensure that children are on track with their word reading by the end of Year 1.  Children who cannot successfully read 32 of the words will be given extra support and will be given another opportunity to attempt the test in Year 2.

he Multiplication Tables Check (MTC) is statutory for all year 4 pupils. The purpose of the MTC is to determine whether pupils can recall their times tables fluently, which is essential for future success in mathematics. It will help schools to identify pupils who have not yet mastered their times tables, so that additional support can be provided. The Multiplication Tables Check is an online test where the pupils are asked 25 questions on times tables 2 to 12.
