This course will outline how targets are determined at Whole School level and for individual pupils across subject areas. Targets are defined in terms of end of KS3, KS4, AS and A2. Delegates will examine the tracking of achievement by pupils at each key stage and be introduced to the concepts of grade differential and value added ratios.
How the tracking system can be used to challenge both pupil and teacher underperformance will be explained and the interpretation of data will be given significant emphasis during the day; much of the work will be practical based. Other related areas such as Mentoring, Study Skills and Teaching and Learning will be explored to show how they are integral to effective target setting and tracking.

The aims of the course are to:
* How targets are determined
* How to interpret tracking data
* The terms grade differential and value added ratio
* How data can be used to challenge underperformance (staff & pupils)
