Another not particularly useful meeting

This evening's meeting was about Performance Management in schools which now means a combination of performance monitoring, continual professional development and determining pay.

Unfortunately nobody seems to have thought the process through end-to-end. We spent an hour or so talking about planning the objectives setting, monitoring performance, appeals, the regulations that underpin this and the guidance and support available. But the process ends with the governors' Pay Committee who make the actual pay decision and there is no guidance for them, no regulations governing how they should reach their decision and no appeal process if a member of staff does not like the decision they made.
