Raise standards witheffective performance managementEnsuring you’re getting the very best out of your staff is key to the success of any school. With SIMS Staff Performance in SIMS Personnel, you can manage, monitor and report on the performance of your entire workforce, ensuring everyone is reaching their full potential and contributing towards whole school improvement.
From individual objectives and employee reviews to lesson observations, all your staff performance data is held centrally and securely, integrated with the personnel record. With class information pulled automatically from within SIMS, your school has access to the right information for making quicker, more informed decisions.
Electronic reports provide the instant evidence you need to demonstrate you’re actively managing staff performance - invaluable when it comes to school inspections.
Adaptable to your school’s needs
Easily fi nd up-to-date information on training, qualifi cations, and other staff data. Defi ne access for your senior leadership team, line managers, appraisers and staff, giving each the right permissions for their needs.
Maintain all the evidence you need throughout the appraisal process to give a relevant pay recommendation, without having to navigate to a different system, or through pages of paperwork.
Objectives, lesson observations and reviews can be recorded together with staff development, including the opportunity to assign grades. All of this information is available to report on from one place.
Identify your best performing staff against professional standards to enable them to share best practice. Keep track of the appraisal process as evidence to Ofsted on how you’re meeting, and raising, standards.
Customise appraisal tools in line with the way your school works, and link individual objectives to whole school priorities.
Appraisers have more time to observe as class information is pulled through onto the lesson observation form without the need for extra administration.
Adaptable to your school’s needs
