Section outline
-
It is crucial for teachers and leaders to be confident in understanding all of the aspects of administration of the Phonics Screening Check, including receipt and storage of the resources, preparing the room where checks will take place, administering the checks and managing the resources and assessments after the checks have taken place. It is the Headteacher's responsibility to ensure that all participating staff fully understand their part in how the checks must be run.
