The Staff Performance Policy applies to all employees, both teaching and non-teaching, within the Living Schools network and covers all aspects of staff performance management, including recruitment, induction, professional development, performance monitoring, feedback and evaluation. Its purpose is to provide a clear, fair, and supportive framework for managing staff performance, ensuring that all staff meet professional standards and contribute effectively to the school’s goals. The policy guides performance assessment, improvement, and recognition, supports professional growth through feedback, coaching, and development opportunities, and promotes accountability, fairness, and consistency in performance management. It also seeks to address underperformance proactively while maintaining a positive work environment and aligning individual performance with the school’s mission to enhance student outcomes.
