Objectives should relate to the teacher’s role and position

A classroom teacher on the upper pay range (UPR) should be set objectives relating to the standards required for a UPR teacher.

These objectives should:

  • Focus on priorities
  • Be time-bound, challenging but achievable, and reflect the need for a satisfactory work/life balance
  • Reflect any relevant team, year or whole-school objectives
  • Reflect the teacher's experience and aspirations

Below, we've provided some example objectives for you to modify based on:

  • The individual member of staff
  • Your school's objectives
