Teachers are observed as part of the performance management department review process.

We can also operate ‘learning walks’ and ‘student work scrutinies’ each half term. These focus on our agreed priorities for the year and feedback is then given to departments.

Our ‘Learning Board’ meetings allow heads of department to work together to improve teaching at departmental level.

Our ‘Teaching, Learning & Assessment’ Workshops and training days run regularly throughout the year to ensure that our teachers receive up-to-date training and professional development.
