Effective PEP Targets:
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.
We stress that targets should be unique and specific. They should promote high expectations; be aspirational for the Children We Look After and wherever possible beSMART.
- 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 bound: to be achieved within a set time period.
There may be exceptions to these rules, but they must be discussed with the Virtual School. For examples of how requested funding can be broken down, please see the separate booklets
