Changing school during assessment
How should schools report data for a child that moves to a new school?
The DfE has agreed the following arrangements:
Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP)
If a pupil transfers schools before the summer half-term holiday, the new setting must report the pupil results to us.
If a pupil transfers schools during the second half of the summer term, then the previous school is responsible for reporting to us.
Year 1 Phonics and Year 2 Phonics Checks
The phonics screening check can be administered on any day during the week commencing Monday 10 June 2024. If a child is unexpectedly absent during that week, the school can administer the phonics screening check up to Friday 21 June 2024. Any child who is absent from school for this entire period should be recorded as 'absent' when submitting the data for the phonics screening check.
