HC Deb 14 January 2002 vol 378 c25W
Mr. Heath

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what representations she has received regarding the success of teachers' performance management assessment; and if she will make a statement. [26568]

Mr. Timms

Ministers regularly receive representations about performance management and also about assessments under the threshold pay system.

All schools have established new performance management arrangements and initial performance reviews will be completed this year. Nearly 200,000 teachers in England have been assessed as meeting the threshold standards and promoted to the upper pay scale.
