Phonics test pass mark?

[CheckpointCharlie]

Is published today, I can't find it anywhere, does anyone know what the government finally decided on for the pass mark?

32 out of 40 words - same as previous years!

Is that official debbiehep?

[https://www.gov.uk/government/news/phonics-screening-check-threshold-published-today] here - definitely 32.
I'm very relieved as thought it easier this year - our results have gone up from 56% last year to 84% this year.

Sorry, link didn't work, but website is correct.

Great, thanks. We're 100% then!

Released today. 32 again.

My class scored 83% pass rate. Year One at my school last year (before I got there) scored 67%, so massive improvement!

Oh my god. Sorry for the massive delay... I found it later on last Monday.

Thanks everyone! It meant we got 75% this year! up again on last year so we are v chuffed!

I think it was much easier this year? Anyone agree? I had SEN children who I would not have believed would pass, get 37! And my top chn get 34.... They were trying to convert the pseudo words into real words, as per. but overall was v pleased.

Much easier - who'd have thought, what with an election coming up and all....

That thought did cross my mind feenie .......
I was waiting for them to hoik the pass mark up to 35 or something like that and then I realised...
