Purpose of Performance Management
‘Performance management helps schools to

of head teachers as individuals and leaders of
school teams. It sets a framework for teachers
and leaders to agree and review priorities and
objectives in the context of the school’s
improvement plan. It focuses attention on
making teaching and leadership more effective
to benefit pupils, teachers, and schools.’

intention.
• Measurable: expressed in such a way that criteria can be
agreed which will demonstrate whether or not the
objective has been achieved.
• Challenging: sufficiently challenging, taking into account
the circumstances of the school, to bring about significant
improvement.
• Developmental: supporting the improvement of the
school and the appraisee
