This study presents the key ideas and issues underlying current debates and policies on "standards" and "targets" for schools and pupils. The author places these in their historical settings and describes both the theory and practice of definition and measurement. Covered topics include: the types of statistical data available on schools; what is meant by "standards"; comparability of standards; league tables and standards; value added analysis; and recommendations for schools.
