Introduction The vision of Our Future Tutoring Services Ltd (OFT) is to be recognized as an outstanding Tutoring Provider, leading the staff force through innovative tutoring solutions and focusing on achieving the best outcomes for our students in a safe, caring, and inspiring environment. The success of this vision depends on every member of staff. There is substantial evidence that effective Performance Reviews and staff development contribute positively to student outcomes.

These reviews confirm that employees are delivering high-quality tuition to students, are competent in their roles, and treat colleagues with dignity and respect. Performance Reviews also provide employees with the opportunity to provide feedback on concerns and areas for potential development to their managers, ensuring positive outcomes. Performance Reviews are not a one-off event but an ongoing process throughout the employment contract. This policy details OFT’s staff Performance Review system, which is part of the wider Performance Management Framework.
