Check List – Key Stage 1, KS2, EYFS, Year 1 and Year 2 Phonics 2017
In a busy school office with many interruptions, it is easy to lose track of where you are. The check list
below will allow you to quickly see what part of the process is completed and what remains to be done.
It is also useful if you need to contact the Service Desk with a problem. You will quickly be able to
identify what step you were working on in which Key Stage.
This will also assist you if you work within a Federation and are completing the process for multiple
schools.
It is also important to check with your Local Authority where each return needs to go and what
the return date is.
As these Teacher Assessments form part of the CTF that accompanies children if they
transfer between schools, it is a statutory requirement that where you are using
alternative software for collection of assessment results, the data is also imported into
SIMS.
Please refer to your software supplier for guidance and instructions on how to do this.
The Scomis bulletin contains all the documentation you need to complete the above returns. It will also
provide you with up to date information on any changes. Click on the link below.

Entering the Threshold Score and Calculating the outcome for Year
1 Phonics once the DfE have published the Threshold Score on
Monday 27th June 2017. This will be available from www.gov.uk.
Important Note:
Currently the Year 2 Phonics Wizard 2017 has been predefined
with a threshold score of 32. Therefore, if the threshold
remains at 32 no further action is required.
When the threshold values have been validated and confirmed
by the DfE on 27th June 2017, if the phonics threshold mark is
changed then the new mark will then need to be entered.
Details on how to do this will be available from the Scomis
