We introduced ‘target setting days’ into our annual programme of events to support our students in achieving their best during their time in the Academy.

The aims of these days are:

• For students to set some clear targets which will add direction to their studies so that their work can improve
• To provide some quality time for parents and students to discuss their progress and any other important matters with tutors
• To provide additional meetings with other relevant members of staff

During the meetings with students and parents tutors use school data for each individual student to assess whether they are making the expected amount of progress or have made better or worse than expected progress.
