Choose who will provide feedback
The headteacher appraisal committee decides this.
Who's chosen will depend on the size of the school. For example:
- In a small primary school you could ask all teaching staff and governors to provide feedback
- In a large secondary school you may want to ask a sample of people to provide feedback
Make sure you:
- Choose a representative sample of people in the school rather than those who you know will give the ‘right’ answers
- Ask enough people so you can conduct a meaningful analysis of the results, but don’t ask too many, as this can leave you with too many results to process
The chair of the appraisal panel should then send the form to these people, ideally by email.
