December for us. I suppose they haven't yet got a chance to get to know the kids and doing targets purely on SATs results or CATs is very clinically. Sometimes children surprise teachers when they grow up at secondary and produce decent work for the first times in their lives.

end of first term Y7, giving targets for end Y9.

Just to flag up that it might depend what type of school your DC attends. My DS is at a super-selective grammar and we still don't know his targets and he's now in Year 8 ;-(!

We have a mentoring evening once a term. Targets are issued just prior to that and discussed at parents evening, alongside other things like ways they think they can improve, problems. Our first mentoring evening will be mid November and appointments are normally arranged a week or so beforehand, with targets coming out a couple of days before.

Obviously they get them into sets fairly quick based on SATs, school tests but they still need time to assess what they think each individual child is capable of.

DD (just started yr 7) had targets last week, for end of yr7, end of yr 9 and GCSE.

DD now in year 8 but end of year 7 levels came home mid-October iirc, however no end of ks3 or predicted gcse grades yet which irks me as a bit of a stato.

We'll get them in the first half-termly report, which is published online in the first week of November.
