Additional Services
Headteacher Appraisal
Experienced and highly qualified advisors from the 0-19 Standards Team are able to support Head teachers’ appraisal / performance management by providing external advisers to governing bodies on the procedure. The majority of governing bodies make use of external advisors, even though they are not a requirement for academies and free schools. This is because an external adviser helps to focus the process and clarify the links between internal and external accountability and, Headteacher development and governance. The 0-19 Standards Team Advisors are extremely well placed to support effective Headteacher appraisal because of their:
-
knowledge of the schools, the schools’ current needs and the importance of appraisal and performance management in schools
-
understanding of the performance management as process;
-
ability to help governors challenge the Headteacher appropriately.
The 0-19 Standards Team Advisors will be able to:
-
summarise data to give a clear understanding of how the school is performing and support the governing body in interpreting information and pupil performance data;
-
analyse the Headteacher’s evidence of progress against objectives and support, question and challenge the Headteacher;
-
gather sufficient knowledge of the school, its history and its context in order to develop the Headteacher in leading its development;
-
bring to bear broad experience working with a number of governing bodies and Headteachers .
To arrange for an external advisor schools should contact their link advisor in the first instance.
