Hello all, I am looking for a form that can be distributed to staff before an appraisal. Not an appraisal form but a form that is asking other staff to comment about the appraisees performance. Its called a 360 degree feedback process. Would like to see if anyone else uses it and if anyone has a template can help me start one up. Thanks in advance.

OFSTED came last week (not divulging result yet!) but I'd like to prepare a poem to say thank you to the children, parents and other family members that shows how much we value their input and support... Any ideas anyone?

Is there anyone out there who uses Superfox? If so, can you tell me what you think of it and if it's worthwhile? I don't want to spend time putting it onto my system if it's not going to give me anything I haven't already generated. Edit to say - I have a register I've generated myself in Excel and payroll software
