The role of the governing body in
performance management is to:
• Establish
the school’s performance management policy, monitor the operation and
outcomes of performance management arrangements, and review the policy
and its operation every year.
• Appoint 2/3 governors to review the head teacher’s performance on an
annual basis.
• Appoint an external adviser or use the SIP to advise appointed
governors on the head teacher’s performance.
• Make decisions about pay and career progression based on pay
recommendations made by reviewers.
• Retain a copy of the head teacher’s planning and review statement
(normally the Chair of Governors).
• Where the head teacher makes such a request, to action requests for
evidence from the performance management process to be transferred if
the head teacher transfers mid-cycle.
• Ensure the content of the head teacher’s planning and review statement
is drafted having regard to the need to be able to achieve a
satisfactory work life balance.
• Undertake action in relation to appeals in line with
the school’s procedures.
