Applications and evidence Sample Clauses

Applications and evidence. Any qualified teacher, having previously demonstrated competency to progress to Band 2 of the schools’ pay range as an accomplished teacher, may apply to be paid on the upper pay range. Any such application must be assessed in line with this policy. It is the responsibility of the teacher to decide whether they wish to apply to be paid on the upper pay range. Applications may be made once per year and must: ● be made on the appropriate application and submitted to the Headteacher, outlining a summary of performance, which can be evidenced if required, that demonstrates the required standards ● be submitted no later than the end of the summer term (July) in each year for consideration to move to the Upper Pay Range in the subsequent Autumn term (consideration will be given to accepting late applications where exceptional circumstances exist). The Governing Board encourage an early indication be given at the objective setting stage so that teachers may be supported to look at progress toward the standards during the appraisal cycle prior to the application being reviewed. If a teacher is simultaneously employed at another school, they may submit separate applications to each. This school will not be bound by any pay decision made by another school. Where evidence is reduced due to maternity or disability related absence(s) the Governing Board will consider the evidence available and base a determination on what would have been the outcome following appraisal assuming that performance continued.
