1. Main facts and figures
-
in 2015/16, there were 652,250 pupils at the end of year 1, and ethnicity was known for 643,163 (99%) of them
-
76% were White, 10% were Asian, 6% were Black, 6% were Mixed, 2% were from the any Other ethnic group and 0.5% were Chinese
The data for expected standards in phonics shows that:
-
81% of all pupils met the phonics expected standard at the end of year 1 (when children are aged 5 to 6 years)
-
in every ethnic group, FSM-eligible pupils were less likely to meet the expected standard than other pupils, except Gypsy/Roma pupils
-
in every ethnic group, girls did better than boys
-
Indian girls and boys were most likely to meet the expected standard, at 92% and 87% respectively
-
Gypsy/Roma boys and girls were the groups least likely to meet the expected standard, at 33% and 41% respectively
-
91% of all pupils had met the expected standard by the end of year 2 (when children are aged 6 to 7 years)
Things you need to know
Results are presented for the academic year 2015/16. The data includes pupils in year 1 in 2015/16 who took and passed the phonics test. It also includes pupils in year 2 in 2015/16 who were retaking the test because they were missed, or had failed it, in year 1.
Results for the Isles of Scilly and the City of London, which have only one school each, have been excluded from local authority breakdowns. This is because the very small number of pupils in these local authorities make the results unreliable.
The Department for Education (DfE) has also excluded, or ‘suppressed’, very small numbers (for example, values of 1 or 2, a percentage based on 1 or 2 pupils who achieved, or 0, 1 or 2 pupils who did not achieve a particular standard). This is because, where the size of the ethnic group population is small enough that an individual’s identity could be revealed, information is suppressed to preserve confidentiality. This is consistent with DfE’s statistical policy statement on confidentiality (PDF opens in a new window or tab) (PDF).
What the data measures
This data measures the percentage of pupils who met the phonics expected standard at the end of year 1 and the end of year 2 in key stage 1 (when children are aged 5 to 7).
The data covers the academic year 2015/16 (September 2015 to July 2016).
The phonics approach helps children to learn to read by teaching them the sounds made by letters in the English language. They can then combine these sounds into words, for both reading and writing.
All pupils in state-funded mainstream schools take the phonics screening checks at the end of year 1 to see if they’ve reached the expected standard. Pupils who don’t meet the standard, or who weren’t checked, are checked again at the end of year 2.
The test consists of 20 real words and 20 made-up words that pupils read out loud to a teacher.
The ethnic categories used in this data
This data uses categories from the Department for Education’s school census, which is broadly based on the 2001 national Census, with 3 exceptions:
- Traveller of Irish Heritage and Gypsy/Roma children have been separated into 2 categories
- Sri Lankan has been added to the Asian/Asian British group but is not reported separately
- Chinese pupils have been assigned a separate category
These changes were made after consultations with local authorities and lobby groups.
The categories in the school census are as follows:
White:
- White British
- White Irish
- Traveller of Irish Heritage
- Gypsy/Roma
- Other White
Mixed/Multiple ethnic groups:
- White and Black Caribbean
- White and Black African
- White and Asian
- Other Mixed background
Asian/Asian British:
- Indian
- Pakistani
- Bangladeshi
- Sri Lankan
- Other Asian background
Black/African/Caribbean/Black British:
- Black African
- Black Caribbean
- Other Black background
Chinese Other ethnic group
Information is provided for both detailed and broad ethnic groups where possible and when the data is available.
The 6 broad categories used are as follows:
- Asian/Asian British
- Black/African/Caribbean/Black British
- Chinese
- Mixed/Multiple ethnic groups
- White
- Other ethnic group
However, local authority data is only provided for 5 broad ethnic groups. Information about the specific ethnic categories is excluded to preserve confidentiality and ensure individuals cannot be identified. Information about the Other ethnic group is not given because DfE does not publish data for this group at the local authority level.
The 5 broad categories are as follows:
- Asian/Asian British
- Black/African/Caribbean/Black British
- Chinese
- Mixed/Multiple ethnic groups
- White

Summary of Phonics attainments for children aged 5 to 7 (key stage 1) Phonics attainment for children aged 5 to 7 by ethnicity and eligibility for free school meals (FSM) Summary
Eligibility for free school meals (FSM) is used as an indicator of deprivation by the Department for Education. For more about who qualifies for FSM, see the Methodology section.
The data shows that:
-
across all ethnic groups, FSM-eligible pupils were less likely to meet the expected standard than other pupils, except Gypsy/Roma pupils
-
69% of FSM-eligible pupils met the expected standard, compared with 83% of all other pupils (a gap of 14 percentage points)
-
among all FSM-eligible pupils, Indian children were most likely to meet the expected standard – 81% did so
-
across all ethnic groups, FSM-eligible pupils from a Traveller of Irish Heritage Background were least likely to meet the expected standard (35%)
-
the biggest gap in attainment, at 24 percentage points, was found among Irish pupils, where 60% of FSM-eligible pupils met the expected standard compared with 84% of those not eligible
-
for White British children, the attainment gap between pupils eligible for FSM and those not eligible was 83% and 66% respectively (a gap of 17 percentage points)
-
for Gypsy/Roma pupils, there was no difference in attainment between those eligible for FSM and those not eligible (both at 37%)
