How do teachers set ks2 targets?
My dd is in y3 and her targets were 2 sub-levels higher than her y2 grades. My son is in y5 and his target was 3 sub-levels over the year.
Dd went up 3 sub levels in literacy and 1 in maths. Ds made 3 sub levels in both numeracy and literacy.
Could the discrepancy be a result of level 4 being easier to work through than level 3 or is it because of the difference in year group?
Dd's teacher was very vague about how it's done and mentioned something about the deputy head setting targets and ds's teacher is a temp and normally teaches in Scotland where things are apparently very different.
