Submission of assessment information Autumn 2020 Phonics Screening Year 2 Only
Overview and Timeline
The DfE have stated that schools should submit their Phonics Year 2 data by the end of the 2020 autumn term. However, we are asking schools to please submit this data by 10 December 2020 to allow the LA & schools to resolve any errors or omissions before the DfE cut-off.
Below is the submission deadline recommended by the LA, followed by important information on how to check your data submissions.

Data Checking - applies to all schools
Provisional Reports will be available in Perspective Lite for schools to run themselves - there are School Summary and Pupil Level reports. This gives schools the opportunity to check their results and resolve any issues before the LA submits the data to the DfE, so please submit your data returns in time, and earlier if possible.
Visit the Perspective Lite Help Pages to find out how to run these reports.
Please note that there will be a short delay between you submitting your data to the LA and the reports being available in Perspective Lite. This is because the LA has to upload the data into the Perspective system.
Academies and Special Schools
Please note, every reference to "schools" in this MI Sheet also applies to academies. Special Schools need to submit their data using the relevant codes, even though their pupils may not take the test.
Contact Details for further help
An Assessments web page has been produced by the Norfolk Learning and Inclusion Service and is intended to be a comprehensive source of information to help you complete your assessments.
The Norfolk Schools Website currently has a content freeze, therefore updated guidance will be available after half term.
If you still have a query that you need answering, please contact one of the appropriate teams listed below.
