Changing end of year targets for multiple children in Primary Target Tracker

It is good practice to regularly review each child's end of year target and adjust them as necessary. This is especially important for the end of KS2 targets. This process can be done for individual children using the option Set Individual Target from the Target Setting menu or for multiple children simultaneously, using the Pupil Led Target Setting toolkit.

 

Columns, in the tracking data sheet of Primary Target Tracker, that contain targets are coloured pale green, with cells containing targets that have already been achieved highlighted in yellow. These targets are calculated from previous teacher assessment values.

For KS2 children targets are, by default, set from their end of KS1 Teacher Assessment. For children in KS1, targets are set from their end of Reception assessment.

Although assessment values may be typed directly into the test or TA columns of the tracking data sheet, the green target column values can not be over typed. This is to avoid accidental changes to targets. Follow the procedure below to change targets for multiple children. Use the Support Article - Changing end of year targets in Primary Target Tracker, if only wanting to change a target for an individual child.
