This school expects excellent standards of performance and is committed to supporting employees to fulfil the requirements of their role. The school acknowledges that there may be circumstances when an employee does not perform to the required standards. This may happen because the employee does not have the necessary skills, knowledge and/ or experience. The employee may not demonstrate the appropriate behaviours that are required.

This policy aims, through advice and support, to improve to an acceptable level as set by the school, the performance of the employee who is causing concern.

This policy defines how the school will manage an employee if they are unable to perform to the required standards. Where poor work performance is assessed to be due to a deliberate or wilful failure to fulfil the duties of an employee’s role and/or a deliberate lack of care, the matter will be dealt with under the school’s Disciplinary Procedure as this is a conduct concern.
