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 SMART.
Specific:
targets should be detailed and directed exactly to the young person's needs or aspirations.
Measurable:
be clear about how you will know if the target has been met.
Achievable:
targets should match the child or young person's ability and stage of development.
Realistic:
the targets can be attained within the timescale set.
Time-based:
state when progress will be monitored and the target should be achieved.
Please see the downloads on this page for some examples of clear targets.
