Updated 17 January, 2003
This model policy is offered to the Church of England schools of the Diocese of Ely. It seeks to root Performance Management in the distinctively Christian context of the church school, whilst remaining closely modelled on the model policy from the DfEE already in school. It therefore complies with Regulations and contains verbatim all those sections in bold from the DfEE model policy which are non-negotiable. Within the DfEE requirements, please feel free to adapt the policy to suit your particular school community.
Those parts of the text underlined are the variations from the DfEE
model.
Those in bold are the obligatory texts.
Those in this font are comments/suggestions.
In preparing this document I am grateful to colleagues in the Church of England Diocese of Sheffield and the Roman Catholic Dioceses of Hallam and East Anglia who have prepared similar models.
The text of the document will also be made available for downloading on the Diocesan website: http://www.ely.anglican.org/education/schools.html
