Explanatory note

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations revoke and re-enact with modifications the Education (School Performance Targets) (England) Regulations 1998. Amending Instruments are also revoked.

The Regulations require schools to set targets in relation to pupils' achievements in the final years of key stages 2 and 3 and, for pupils over the age of 15, to set targets in relation to GCSE and other external qualifications approved by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority.

The principal changes made are to allow schools to include external qualifications approved by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority when setting targets for pupils aged 15 and over and to include a requirement for schools to report their targets to local education authorities.
