Performance Management and Grading of Lesson Observations

Should you and / or your members be faced with the use of OFSTED criteria for grading of lessons during the Performance Management Cycle please contact the NTA Office. The Union is prepared to ballot members, if necessary, to take appropriate industrial action where members wish to stop this practice in their school.

We have spent the past year negotiating with the Newham NAHT updating Performance Management to be a professional development model. For schools to now grade lesson observations, using the OFSTED criteria, defeats that very principle.
