Management Information Sheet

In the absence of new guidance from DfE regarding target setting requirements for Summer 2012, it remains a statutory requirement for schools to set and submit targets using the same indicators as last year. All Primary Phase schools are therefore asked to set statutory targets this term for absence in 2011/12 and schools with Year 5 pupils are asked to set statutory targets this term for their attainment at the end of Key Stage 2 in 2012.

Please see detailed guidance

KS2 Schools are asked to set targets for 2012 attainment as well as absence

Infant Schools are asked to set 2012 absence targets this term, followed by Key Stage 1 attainment targets for 2012 during the Summer Term 2011.
