Through all the challenges in the education sector of the past few years, we believe the shifting approach to performance management in schools has been a positive change.
Many schools have been moving away from high-stakes annual reviews, data targets and tick-box CPD exercises. Continuous professional learning and development has become central to school improvement strategy, and this has been shown to have a positive impact on staff workload, well-being and retention.
Through continuous innovation, we want to ensure that our solutions meet the changing needs of our customers and the sector.
