Performance management in maintained schools takes place within the context of the Education (School Teachers’ Appraisal) (England) Regulations 2012. These Regulations are important as they set out requirements about how performance management must be undertaken.
Maintained schools must also ensure that performance management is undertaken in line with the provisions of the School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document (STPCD). While these provisions apply legally to maintained schools, they are also important in determining practice in academies and free schools.
Performance management is a critical process for teachers and school leaders and is the key means employers use to evaluate the effectiveness of practice and effectiveness.
The implications of embedding a coaching culture within a school can have a huge impact on teacher and staff retention and student achievement. Performance management is not only about developing a person’s career, it is also about developing their practice so that they are supported to be increasingly effective in their role.
