What's News Note from the Editor Requirement to set Level 5+ targets in English and Maths at Key Stage 2 The requirement to set and publish level 5+ targets at KS2 for English and Maths is now law. Governing Bodies must set targets for tests taken in 2003 by July 31, 2002 and inform their LEAs of their level 5+ targets in December along with their level 4+ and 5+ targets for 2004. DfES Spectrum June 2002 (addendum) National Targets for Key Stage 3 As part of the drive to "improve the early years of secondary education", DfES have announced the following national targets for KS3: by 2004, 75% of 14 year olds will achieve level 5 in English, maths, ICT and 70% in science by 2007, 85% will achieve level 5 in English maths and ICT and 80% in science by 2004, no LEA will achieve less than 65% at level 5 in English maths and 60% in science (note: in 2000, KS3 achievement was 64% in English, 65% in maths and 59% in science) These targets are linked to new initiatives including new frameworks for the teaching of English and Maths.

The College is also part of the local Careers Discussion Group, which is made up of careers advisors from the careers company and teachers with a careers responsibility in local high schools. Sessions were organised for the group to raise understanding o new curriculum choices before implementation and share experience of issues once programmes were under way. Open Days have included talks about Curriculum 2000 for parents. Parents have also been encouraged to attend consultation and guidance sessions both before and after entry.

Circular number 11/98 Introduction Legal Basis Duties of Governing Bodies LEA Involvement Links to the National Literacy and Numeracy Targets ... Additional Targets / Non- Statutory Targets Target-setting has been shown in research and inspection evidence to help raise standards of pupil performance. Many schools already set targets as part of their routine planning work, and the idea of statutory target-setting was broadly supported in the national consultation undertaken by OCA in the Autumn of 1997. Ministers are now committed to supporting this process in schools through the provision of funding and guidance, alongside a new legal requirement. This Circular sets out the details of the requirement for all maintained schools, including special schools, to set statutory targets once a year for their pupils aged 1 1 or 16. Governing Bodies will be required to publish their targets alongside performance information in their annual report to parents. Whilst Ministers are clear that this new requirement will help improve standards, they are also determined that it should not become a burdensome administrative procedure for teachers. The statutory framework has therefore been kept to a minimum, reflecting the Government's priority of raising standards in the basics of literacy and numeracy. Targets will be for pupil performance in National Curriculum assessments and GCSEs and equivalent qualifications. No additional testing will be needed for statutory targets.
