The Government will not publish Reception or KS1 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year.  The last available public data is from the 2018 to 2019 academic year.  It is important to note that the data from that year may no longer reflect current performance.

Early Years 2019 Results

The Good Level of Development is the measure that helps to demonstrate the proportion of children who are achieving expected levels in the prime areas of learning (communication and language, physical development and personal, social and emotional development) and in maths and literacy.

Percentage of children who achieved the Good Level of Development

Year	Polesden Lacey Infant School	National
2016	90%	69%
2017	79%	71%
2018	83%	72%
2019	76%	72%

The results for 2019 show the progress remains good ensuring a large percentage of pupils have achieved a Good Level of Development and are fully prepared to start school in Year 1.

Year 1 Phonic Screening Check

‘The Phonics Screening Check is a short ‘light touch’ assessment to confirm whether individual pupils have learnt phonic decoding to an appropriate standard. It will identify the children who need help and support with their reading skills. Children will retake if they did not reach the required level.’ (DFE 2011)

The Phonic Screening test measures the ability children’s ability to use phonological knowledge to read real and made up words. Phonological knowledge is an awareness of the sound structure of the language and how sounds are represented by letters. This knowledge, and the ability to apply it, is seen as a key early reading skills. Two key areas of learning are blending (putting identified sounds together) and segmenting (being able to split a word up by identifying the different sounds within it). These results show that pupils at Polesden Lacey have made rapid progress by the end of Year 1.
