Data collections

Phonics screening check results are collected from our maintained schools and academies during the summer term.

You must send your data return to ECC using the school to school (S2S) system.

The final submission deadline, via S2S, is Friday 12 July 2024. Schools are asked to submit their data as soon as it has been checked and is ready to send.

For guidance on what data to submit and how to send your data return use the following links and downloads:
