Our headteacher appraisal package delivers robust, tailored support for governing bodies and trust boards to conduct effective, developmental appraisals. We provide an experienced external adviser who works alongside the appraisal panel to prepare, conduct and review the headteacher performance against the Headteacher Standards and the individual school’s strategic objectives. Our service ensures the process is structured, evidence-based, compliant and aligned with the school development plan and governance expectations.

Throughout the annual appraisal cycle we offer pre-meeting preparation, objective setting in collaboration with governors and the headteacher, interim review sessions, and a final appraisal meeting complete with a comprehensive written report. This package supports continual professional growth, strengthens accountability, and enhances leadership impact. By providing a trusted critical friend and independent insight, we help elevate leadership capacity, sharpen focus on improvement priorities and deliver meaningful outcomes for pupils and the school community.
