Yes, iPhone is designed to disconnect from Wifi when the screen locks, unless you are doing something such as streaming music. This is to help save battery power when the phone is not being used. If you don't want Wifi to disconnect when the screen is locked, plug the phone in to charge and Wifi will not disconnect. Again, the behavior you are seeing is normal and expected and by design.
