Identifying Students Requiring 20 & 40 Week Phonics Checks

Using the List Builder, you can create a Weeks at School list that automatically accounts for holidays. This means teachers can quickly see how many weeks a student has attended school and plan around key learning milestones.  The list is based on the student’s first schooling date.

Teachers can create these lists for any date they choose, allowing them to plan phonics checks in advance and quickly form groups for each week of the term directly from the list.
 

1. Click on the Quick Links icon (three lines) located on the right-hand side of the screen.

2. Click on List Builder

3.  Scroll to the Date Calculations section at the bottom of the page.   Enter the date you wish to base the results on.  This can be in the future, to enable forward planning.  The list will be based on the weeks at school as at the date entered.

4.  Click Weeks at school on selected date (Excluding Holidays).

The report will calculate the number of open school days since a student's First Schooling Date and divide by 5 to determine the weeks at school.   Where a student's First Schooling Date is before their First Attendance Date, the calculation will be based on your school calendar.

5. Create the list and enter the number of weeks required in the 'Weeks at school...' filter area:
