A range of guidance will be published in the first week of September to support target setting at different stages, from individual pupil targets to those that are set at Local Authority level. There are particular references to the target setting process for schools throughout the year.
This guidance is designed to support LAs and schools in setting challenging education performance targets for 2011 which aim for the best possible outcomes for all children and young people. It is in two parts:
Part 1 is for those directly involved in setting LA targets - Directors of Children's Services, Heads of School Improvement, Primary and Secondary Strategy Managers, SIP Managers, Early Years' Lead Officers and other advisers.
Part 2 is for those who work directly with schools to set targets. It covers target setting for all pupil groups from Early Years Foundation Stage to Key Stage 5 and for improving attendance. Part 2 is designed for use by LAs to brief School Improvement Partners, National Challenge Advisers, Governing Bodies and Head teachers.
The full guidance will be made available at the following link: http://www.standards.dcsf.gov.uk/ts/guidance/
