An effective Appraisal System in a School will identify needs. These are not just the needs of individual teachers for development of skills and career progression but will set the agenda for INSET to address whole school needs.

At the end of an Appraisal Cycle, the S.L.T. should be able to recognise whole school needs in terms of Curriculum Development, Resource Management and other relevant factors.

A Registered Inspector can review an existing Appraisal system and advise on the key elements of an effective policy.
