STA have announced that year 2 pupils will need to receive a past version of the phonics screening check in term 2 as they were unable to do this in Year 1. 

Pupils who meet the standard in the Autumn check will not require any further assessment. Pupils who do not meet the standard will be expected to take the check in June 2021. 

The purpose of this briefing is to outline the phonics screening check process for year 2 teachers who may be unfamiliar with this. It will provide an overview of the national guidance from STA on how to carry out this check.

With 2020 having been such an unusual year and with schools being in very different situations due to the impact of Covid-19, we have decided to offer personal Subject Leader 1:1 sessions in the autumn term, rather than running Best Practice Fora as usual. These hour-long sessions will provide subject leaders with a chance to ask questions, seek advice and talk through development plans or any issues in relation to the leadership of English in their school. We’ll provide advice and guidance, signpost useful resources and send any materials that may be helpful after the meeting.

‘If you’re going to improve as a writer, you can’t just luxuriate in the experience – you have to look at how the writer constructs text. (Wise, 2017).

Sentence structure is a significant element of the writing curriculum, however many children struggle when it comes to really understanding what a sentence is. The first part of this session will look at how sentence structure progresses, from single-word sentences, through the use of various phrases and clauses to controlling and manipulating multi-clause sentences.

‘Moving image media provides us with a distinctive and vital means of expression; a dominant and global source of stories, ideas and opinions and is increasingly important part of our cultural heritage. By the time they are three years old, most children have learned another language in addition to their spoken mother tongue: they have learned the codes and conventions through which moving images tell stories. This emergent ‘cineliteracy’ sets them on the brink of an amazing world of images and sounds.’ (British Film Institute, 2003)
