Identifying Barriers and Understanding Needs

Evidence may include:

  • EYFS profile.
  • Phonics Screening Check.
  • Teacher assessment (both formative and summative assessment).
  • Standardised assessments [Size: 447 KB, File: PDF] are undertaken by the school using a response to intervention framework.
