What is a SMART target?
Target setting will form a crucial part of whether the PEP is sufficient to guide and improve the education of the Children We Look After. Targets should be agreed in consultation with key education partners, the parent/carer and the young person at the termly PEP meeting.
They should promote high expectations; be aspirational for the Children We Look After and wherever possible be...
Specific: | be directed exactly to the young person's needs and address them | |
Measurable: | be measured by determining whether the target has been reached | |
Achievable: | be within the realms of the child/young person's capabilities | |
Realistic: | the targets can be attained within the timescale set | |
Time: | state when it will be achieved |
If you are unsure how to set SMART targets specifically for the young person in your school or setting, please contact our Primary PEP lead Helen Lee, her email address is HelenLee@sthelens.gov.uk
Please see the following web page if you would like to see specific Primary SMART Targets and how they have been worded and itemised for Pupil Premium funding requests. You will find some examples of effective targets that could be included for a young person on a Personal Education plan. However, we stress that targets should be unique and specific.
