Trainees are rated Outstanding (1), Good (2), Pass (3). If any trainees receive a Fail for their lesson, please contact Suzanne Horton s.horton@worc.ac.uks.horton@worc.ac.uk Trainees will receive a grade for their phonics teaching on their final SE report and this is tracked.

13. SE 3 It is strongly recommended that all trainees teach phonics during SE 3, regardless of the Key Stage in which they find themselves. English tutors will be visiting 10% of trainees (Undergraduate and Post Graduate) on SE3, in order to monitor progression, subject knowledge and trainees’ confidence.
