Appraisal: The Salford Experience

Janet Pardoe, headteacher, Dean Park School, and Robin Attfield, headteacher, Claremont School, describe their schools' experiences of taking part in the national pilot work on appraisal, prior to the provision of national guidelines. They emphasise, however, that appraisal schemes to be introduced in Salford will in no way be bound by the views expressed here.
