Once again, we are updating Individual Education Plans  for all pupils in the school.

The IEP targets reflect general key skills, which will be of use across the whole curriculum.

The targets are not for specific subjects. Subject targets are set throughout the year and are noted in this term’s Annual Review reports.

Pupils have helped to devise their own targets with Form teachers, LSAs and, in some cases, Care Staff. Parental suggestions are welcome. Please return the reply slip by Monday 8^th October 2012, that pupils bring home, if you want to make any comments or suggestions.

We set 3 targets per term.

Targets may be drawn from the four following broad areas:

• Literacy
• Numeracy
• Communication skills
• Behaviour

These are nationally agreed criteria for IEPs.

However, at St Vincent’s we have also devised specific targets for

• Visual Impairment.

Copies of IEPs are sent home, as it is important that we work together on achieving these goals. Targets are assessed at the end of the IEP term.

Furthermore, if you have any queries about this letter, or about your child’s IEP, please contact: Mrs J Armstrong.
