Share this checklist with line managers in your school
Help your line managers stay on top of their statutory responsibilities:
Managers in maintained schools have statutory responsibilities
Performance managers must:
- Set objectives for each teacher they manage before, or soon after, the start of each appraisal period
- Tell the teachers they manage which standards they'll be assessed against (including the Teachers' Standards) before, or soon after, the start of each appraisal period
- Make sure that teachers' objectives contribute to pupils' education and to the implementation of your school improvement plan
- Assess teachers against their objectives and the relevant standards
- Work with teachers to assess their professional development needs
- Identify actions needed to address these needs
- Give teachers a written appraisal report that sets out:
- An assessment of their performance
- Their training needs
- A recommendation on pay and progression, where relevant
These responsibilities are not legally required for line managers in academies,
