SMART Target Generator

Generate specific, measurable SEND targets in seconds. Describe the area of need and current level — the AI writes 3 SMART targets with success criteria and review notes. Print-ready for IEPs, pupil passports, and review meetings.

About this pupil's needs

Pupil's first name (optional)

Area of need

Current level and what the pupil can and cannot do

Be specific. The more detail you give, the more targeted the targets.

Target timeframe

Writing your SMART targets…

These targets are AI-generated drafts. Review and adjust to ensure they accurately reflect the pupil's current level and your school's SEND framework before adding to an IEP or SEN support plan.

What makes a SMART target?

Specific — describes a precise skill or behaviour, not a general area. "Will decode CCVC words independently" beats "will improve reading".
Measurable — has a success criterion you can observe. "8 out of 10 correct" or "3 consecutive sessions" gives you something to check.
Achievable — within reach from the current level, with appropriate support, in the given timeframe.
Relevant — addresses a genuine priority for the pupil, not just what's easy to measure.
Time-bound — has a clear review date.

Always involve the pupil (where possible) and parents in setting and reviewing targets. Pupil voice is a key element of good SEND practice and is often under-utilised.
