Revised Guidance for LAs on setting education performance targets (23 October 2008)
23 October 2008, source: DCSF, ref: DCSF
The Target Setting Guidance has now been revised following the Secretary of State's announcement on 14 October 2008 that Key Stage 3 National Curriculum tests will not take place from 2009 onwards.
It covers arrangements for setting LA and school targets for 2010. In particular the statutory targets at Key Stages 2 and 4, children in care, minority ethnic groups, attendance and early years' outcomes. We have split the guidance into 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.
Please note the new changes to the BME and FSM targets which are included in Part 1 of the Guidance 2010.
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 4 and for improving attendance. LAs may wish to use some or all of the advice in Part 2 to inform the guidance they provide to School Improvement Partners, Governing Bodies and Head teachers.
