Regulation 11 Appointment of reviewers for other teachers
Subject to the following paragraphs of this regulation, the head teacher shall be the reviewer for all other teachers at the school.
In the case where the head teacher is not the teacher’s line manager, the head teacher may delegate the duties imposed upon the reviewer, in their entirety, to the teacher’s line manager.
Where the teacher has more than one line manager, the head teacher may delegate the reviewer’s duties, in their entirety, to the line manager whom he considers would be best placed to manage and review the teacher’s performance.
Where it becomes apparent that the teacher to whom the head teacher has delegated the reviewer’s duties will be absent for the majority of the cycle, the head teacher may perform those duties himself or delegate those duties, in their entirety, to another teacher for the duration of that absence.
Where a teacher is of the opinion that the person to whom the head teacher has delegated the reviewer’s duties is unsuitable for professional reasons, he may submit a written request to the head teacher for that reviewer to be replaced, stating those reasons.
Where the head teacher is persuaded that the teacher to whom he has delegated the reviewer’s duties is unsuitable, he may perform those duties himself or delegate them, in their entirety, to another teacher.
Where the head teacher is not persuaded that the teacher to whom he has delegated the reviewer’s duties is unsuitable, he shall—
notify the teacher in writing of his decision, stating his reasons; and
upon request, attach the teacher’s request and the notification of his rejection of that request to the statement for that cycle.
A reviewee may request that a person to whom the head teacher has delegated the reviewer’s duties be replaced once in any cycle.
Where the head teacher decides at any time that the person to whom he has delegated the reviewer’s duties is no longer suitable for professional reasons, or is no longer able to perform those duties for any reason, he may perform those duties himself or delegate them, in their entirety, to another teacher.
Where, pursuant to this regulation, the head teacher delegates the reviewer’s duties to a teacher who is not the teacher’s line manager, the teacher to whom he delegates those duties must have an equivalent or higher status in the staffing structure than the teacher’s line manager.
