Guidance for Governors: Your Role in the Headteacher's Appraisal

Webinar duration: 51 minutes (approx.)

This webinar will provide governors and trustees with advice and practical guidance on carrying out their statutory duties in relation to the headteacher’s appraisal, supporting and holding the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils.

The DfE’s Governance Handbook describes the role and statutory duties of governing boards in the headteacher’s appraisal, which should be “a supportive, developmental process designed to ensure that all teachers and executive school leaders have the skills and support that they need to carry out their role effectively.”

In this webinar, John Rees, RSHE subject matter expert with over 25 years’ educational leadership experience, will describe best practice to help governors and trustees fulfil this essential role, ensuring compliance but also the best outcomes for the school.
