Tackling Staff Underperformance

How would you deal with an underperforming member of staff? It’s an uncomfortable issue for many school leaders and it’s tough to know how best to proceed. With the increasingly vigilant Ofsted inspections, school leaders are under more pressure than ever to ensure that their staff meet the expected level of performance.
