As of January 2022, there have been two validation rounds. As a large number of self-assessment submissions almost met the 16 essential core criteria, the panel is carrying out an additional resubmission exercise in mid-February. This means the list of validated phonics programmes will likely be updated to include more programmes in late February. This will ensure that schools have a wide as possible choice of validated SSP programmes, before the end of the 2021-22 financial year. Please see here for further information.
