The London School of Phonics & English

Measuring Progress. Celebrating Success.

At the London School of Phonics and English, we don’t guess—we measure. We use the official Jolly Phonics & Grammar Assessment framework to track your child's journey with scientific precision. Our goal is to ensure that no child is left behind and that every student is consistently challenged to reach their full potential.

Jolly Assessments

Our 3-Tiered Assessment Strategy

Transparency in Every Step.

We provide parents with a clear window into their child's classroom performance through three specific types of evaluation:

The Initial Placement Audit

Before lessons begin, we identify exactly which level of Phonics, English, or Grammar is the right fit. This ensures your child starts with confidence, not frustration.

Continuous Progress Tracking

Our native teachers conduct weekly informal check-ins and digital quizzes. We track sound recognition, blending speed, and writing accuracy in real-time.

Formal Milestone Reviews

At the end of each program level, we conduct a formal assessment to ensure total mastery and readiness before moving to the next stage of the curriculum.

The LSPE Advantage: Data-Driven Peace of Mind

Why Our Reporting is Premier.

  • Detailed Milestone Reports

    Upon completing key levels, parents receive a comprehensive LSPE Progress Report. This document details the student’s strengths, areas for growth, and specific mastery of the Jolly framework.

  • Parent-Teacher Portals

    Access a digital dashboard that shows your child’s scores, attendance, and specific feedback from their UK or US teacher.

  • Personalized Roadmaps

    If a student struggles with a specific sound or grammar rule, our data catches it immediately, allowing us to adjust our daily instruction to support them instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions (Jolly Assessments at LSPE)

What are Jolly Assessments at LSPE?

Jolly Assessments at LSPE are structured evaluations based on the official Jolly Phonics & Grammar Assessment framework. They allow us to accurately measure each child’s progress, identify strengths and gaps, and ensure learning is consistent, measurable, and effective.

Why does LSPE use a 3-tiered assessment system?

We use a 3-tiered system to provide complete transparency and accuracy. Instead of relying on a single test, we assess students before learning begins, during lessons, and at key milestones, ensuring no child is under-challenged or overwhelmed.
