1. Target Setting: Year 10 11 October 2011 To inspire confident learners who will thrive in a changing world

4. Key Stage 3 Assessments We use teacher assessments; English, Mathematics and Science; Levels 3-8; Sub levels, a, b,c (+, =, -); Levels just as before…

5. Key Stage 3 Assessments Year 9 Split levels 6c = 6.2 6b = 6.5 6a = 6.8 7c = 7.2 7b = 7.5 7a = 7.8 Mean figure

6. Setting the target for KS4 Take the Teacher Assessed split levels for English, Mathematics & Science; Take the average; Add approximately two levels of progress.

7. If only it was so simple… Fischer Family Trust; A Government estimate for GCSE based on KS2 for each student in each subject in every school in the country; Grade estimate for each subject.

9. The target setting process Our target vs FFT estimate – we choose the most challenging target; Subject teachers then check with their own data and can amend targets with good evidence to support their amendments; Consult with students about the targets and amend if agreed – vast majority up rather than down!

10. 2+2: Levels to grades… Ave KS3 level 3 + 2 levels = 5 = grade E 4 + 2 = 6 = grade D 5 + 2 = 7 = grade C 6 + 2 = 8 = grade B 7 + 2 = 9 = grade A 8 + 2 = 10 = grade A*

11. Adding Two Levels of Progress

13. Why these targets work… It is a target for each student, not just for the brightest; Although we may never reach it we should get better by working towards it; The national data shows that students CAN achieve way beyond expectations; The target puts each student in charge of his or her own learning.

14. What happens next… The teachers have these targets; They have discussed them with students over the last few weeks; Students have had the chance to negotiate the targets up (and in very rare cases, down); Ask your son/daughter about his/her targets; Students will have stickers in their planners by the end of this week; You have the targets in your letter.

15. Tracking progress On-line Reporting; Personal log-in; Three assessments for every student, for every subject, every year; Comments too; The reporting system will tell you if your child is on target.

16. To inspire confident learners who will thrive in a changing world

17. A changing world…

18. The U.S. Department of Labour estimates that today’s learner will have 10-14 jobs by the age of 38.
