As part of Ebor Academy Trust’s commitment to Excellence and Opportunity, it is anticipated that line managers will routinely engage with staff in coaching and development conversations in order to celebrate success or to help staff overcome challenges in their working life.
This may include times where work does not meet the required standard and some informal support and direction is sufficient to raise standards to the required level. However, there are times when a more structured and directive approach to performance management is needed, and the Managing Poor Performance policy should be used.
Ebor Academy Trust is committed to providing high-quality education to its pupils, which can only be achieved when its employees perform their job well. Therefore, it is vital that poor performance is identified and tackled with fairness and objectivity, as promptly as possible so that Ebor’s high standards of education, operational efficiency and environment are maintained.
