How do governors work with School Improvement Partners to review a head's performance? In this programme, we observe the whole process, seeing how one primary school manages it, from target-setting to pay review.
At Gearies Infant School in Redbridge, headteacher Bob Drew is about to have his performance reviewed by the school's SIP Peter Brooks, himself a headteacher, and a small committee of governors.
SIPs are a new feature on the performance management scene. The SIP is now the person who will support and guide governing bodies in reviewing the performance of their headteacher.
