<p>In the light of the COVID-19 outbreak and associated school closures, the Department
made the decision to cancel Key Stage 1 and 2 national curriculum assessments in the
2019/20 academic year, including the Phonics Screening Check. The Department has made
a firm commitment not to hold schools to account on data based on the 2020 assessments.
The Department will not be publishing or sharing institution level data from the 2020
assessments and has advised all those working with schools, such as local authorities,
to use the previous year’s data when assessing school performance, until new data
is available.</p>
