Essential training to meet statutory requirements

Governing boards in maintained schools have a statutory duty under the Education (School Teachers’ Appraisal) (England) Regulations 2012 for headteacher appraisal.

The Clerk's appraisal should take place annually, normally at the end of the academic year in July. Clerks should be supported to identify potential areas for training and development. Additional support or resources should be given by the chair of governors or headteacher if they are required.

This briefing session will support Chairs to carry out the Clerks Annual Appraisal.

This highly interactive course will give you opportunities to experience key areas of teaching in primary schools.
