If the HT knows from other observations that a teachers performance is poor but may perform enough to gain a satisfactory PM observation how do they communicate this to the reviewer?
No, classroom observations under any arrangements other than Performance Management are not taken into account for review purposes. Teachers should have the opportunity to engage in classroom observation with other professional colleagues, by agreement, in order to review and develop their practice. Developmental peer observations are voluntary and initiated by teachers and are not part of performance management arrangements. Classroom observations by Ofsted or by a local authority using its statutory powers of intervention are also not part of performance management. Even in these circumstances observation should be reasonable, proportionate and fit-for-purpose and should be the subject of consultation with staff and unions. (Guidance 5.
