Target Setting The school supports the creation of curricular targets for the whole school. Curricular targets are created by subject leaders for literacy, numeracy, science and ICT. They are created by analysing data available. Data and generic whole school issues are formulated. More specific areas relevant to specific year groups are specified to enable for focused teaching to take place to meet a cohort’s particular needs. Aspirational targets are set for Year 6 (2010 National Test cohort) and Year 5 (2011 National Test cohort) and also for Year 2 (2010 cohort). Target Tracker data is used to support teachers in the September of each academic year. This information provides an accurate overview of each particular class and the pupils within in. This information is supplied by the School’s Assessment Leader

Recent reviews include those by the BBC and the Daily Mail. Both of these offer a very straightforward comparison to both local education authority averages and national averages. St. Peter’s scores are enviably high in all categories, which we feel reflects the standards and dedication of the staff as well as the atmosphere created in the school as a place of learning.See our links page for more useful local and national education contacts, as well as links to church resources and recommended sites for pupils. |
