Yup. Say it louder. If someone could tot up the waste of professional effort/time thrown into this, e.g. action taken on spurious data. It's a huge distraction from the real work of defining and securing true (substantial, sustainable) improvement through long-term input.
Target grades are made up. They have no validity. Nobody can defend them. They've also helped create a bizarre orthodoxy in which we discuss what grades kids "should get" which is just insane. Just have a think about what nonsense that is. The "grade they should have got "
Essentially, one in five schools giving GCSE target grades to year sevens.
