Inadequate

Satisfactory

Good

Outstanding

• Any needs identified by school, area or individual are largely in situation and do not feed through into a school system
• Over-reliance on surface feeling or data that has not been evaluated
• Actual activities bear only a passing resemblance to any needs and aspirations
• Token or no link with Performance Management objectives
• Needs and aspirations of individuals are given a low/no priority

• Main focus is on school needs but the individual is not ignored
• Systems exist to gather evidence including data, Performance Management and other feedback but not applied evenly and consistently
• Some criteria for allocation of resources to priorities.

• Consideration given to national, school and individual needs and aspirations
• Needs based on a range of evidence
• Individuals and areas of the school expected to consider their particular needs and aspirations
• Systems are clear as to who is involved, how and when with regard to needs identification
• Clear relationship with Performance Management
• Criteria for allocation of resources to priorities.

• Reliable systems to address national, school and individual needs and aspirations based on reliable evidence
• All individuals and areas of the school identify and reflect on needs and aspirations and their views considered
• Systems applied consistently with regard to who is involved, how and when
• Very clear relationship with Performance Management
• Clear criteria for allocation of resources to priorities.
