Target Setting 

SETTING TARGETS TO RAISE STANDARDS 

Following her launch of the Improving Schools programme in May 1995, the Secretary of State asked Her Majesty's Chief Inspector to 'look at target-setting in primary and secondary schools to identify good practice and determine what further action is needed to help schools develop effective target-setting strategies.... If we are to achieve the revised National Targets every school will have to play its full part'. 

The National Curriculum aims to raise educational standards by setting demanding but achievable targets for what pupils of different ages should know, understand and be able to do. For each subject and for each key stage, programmes of study set out what pupils should be taught and attainment targets  set out the expected standards of pupils' performance.

Both the National Targets and the National Curriculum, therefore, provide a context for target-setting in all types of school.
