“Perspective is very easy to use and saves a lot of time. Everything is centralised, making the relevant information accessible to the right people. We love the way Perspective supports triangulation of evidence: lesson observations, work scrutiny, Performance Management, SIDP, and SEF. This particularly helps when providing information to Governors.”
Claire Bates, Drayton Community Infant School

“We have used Perspective this year to complete our performance management reviews with all staff. The system is straightforward to use and concise, and provides a tracking tool to enable SLT to see which reviews are overdue and ensure deadlines are met. It has helped us streamline the performance management process and I would highly recommend it.”
Lisa Sarikaya, Belgrave St Bartholomew’s Academy

“The observation module is proving so useful. All our monitoring being in one place has led to much more effective working, real distributed leadership and the release from paper enables concentration on the real issues – teaching and learning!”
Richard Osborne, Coton Green Primary

“I’ve found Perspective to be really helpful. It saves valuable time and creates professional-looking documents. So far, I’ve used it for Performance management, lesson observations, surveys and the school development plan. I like the way it keeps everyone up to date with appointments. It’s very user-friendly and the chat help is great.”
Pam Thompson, Corpusty Primary School

“The Performance Management tool is really useful as it gives both reviewers and reviewees access to all the information they need in one place. It’s also useful having the teaching standards on hand, and staff are beginning to add actions and evidence as they go along. Overall, it is very useful tool that saves us a lot of time.”
Carl Hollis, Scotholme Primary School

“Using Perspective has saved us so much time! Observation write ups and book scrutinies are quicker to do and the analysis is enabling us to hone in on what our specific areas for development are. We know we have only scratched the surface of what the system can do.”
Becky Waters, Dogsthorpe Infant School

“I like how all my data and SEF are accessible in one place — I’m able to work on it at home, in the office, or anywhere with WIFI. The SEF is easy to compile and you are able to upload your own documents to support your judgements. The ability to pull off a range of questionnaires is also very useful.”
Phil Hallman, St Martin’s Catholic Primary

“I love the potential of this programme! It’s great to have all Observations stored in one place and to benefit from the analysis tool. I find the support line and live chat really friendly and helpful, it’s great to know I can get help straight away should I need it.”
Karen Hannon, Ambleside Primary School
-
“I have found the Observations module really useful as the analysis helps to triangulate all forms of monitoring and to trend teacher Performance over time. I have found it particularly useful how the Observations module links through into Performance Management to give me all the information I need regarding a specific teacher’s performance throughout the year.”
Rob Simpson, Norman Pannell Primary School
-
“We have found the Performance Management aspect of Perspective very useful. The training and guidance provided by the team enabled reviewers to master the programme quickly. Our review process has run much more smoothly! With all documentation held in one place, it means we can access objectives from a variety of devices. Staff also like the reminder emails that are sent at key points throughout the process.”
Joanne Starkey, St. Paul and St. Timothy’s Catholic Infant School

“The whole package is easy to use. It enables all data from appraisals, professional development, surveys, lesson observations and work scrutiny to act as evidence for School Self Evaluation and provides the tools to support this. It is clearly structured around the most recent Ofsted framework and allows the School Improvement Plan to emerge logically from the outcomes of the SEF.”
Elaine Hillary, Oswaldtwistle School
-
“One of the biggest benefits is being able to make the Observations templates bespoke to your school. A key point for me is also being able to have an overview of a staff member’s performance at the touch of a button, and not having to complete an overview sheet after each observation.”
Christine Dean, Milton Primary School
-
“Perspective has been very useful in streamlining the administration of our appraisal processes and it will be helpful in supporting staff to take responsibility for their own CPD. I like the fact that monitoring documents are automatically tagged to relevant staff records. We also found the SEF assessment questions really helpful, and were impressed with the report produced.”
Dawn Martin, Gossops Green Community Primary School
-
“The Bite Sized Questions gave our SLT an ideal starting point for writing the SEF. They gave us a clear indication of where to shout about our strengths, and more importantly, where to focus our efforts. I would definitely recommend Perspective as a a really useful review tool.”
Andy Jenkins, Headteacher, Dovecote Primary School

“Perspective costs the equivalent of two days Senior Leadership time and therefore it proves great value for money! It is one of the best resources I have used, and we love how it keeps all school Leadership information in one place. Plus, the online functionality is fantastic and it gives instant feedback to staff.
Adrian Pembleton, Wrekin View Primary

“We are using Perspective to record all learning walks and observations and the analysis function is helping us to identify strong and weak practice across the school and to ensure we get decent coverage of all age and ability groups. We’ve also used it to set all targets this year and it is proving to be an excellent tool for performance management.”
Mike Walters, St Anselm’s Catholic School, Canterbury

“We have been using Perspective for 9 weeks now and it has already revolutionised the way we monitor performance for both performance management as well as school development. We love it!”
Sarah Reynolds, Wilnecote Junior School, Staffordshire
