(This note is not part of the Order)

These Regulations amend the Education (Local Education Authority Performance Targets) (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/2450 as amended by S.I. 2006/3150) in three principal respects. They require single targets to be set for achievement in both English and mathematics at the end of each key stage (excluding the first key stage), and they introduce for each of the relevant key stages (excluding the first key stage) progression targets in English and mathematics (regulations 4, 5, 6 and 9); and they require local authorities to set targets in secondary schools for persistent absence as defined (regulation 8).
