Opal Review: Encourage staff development with ongoing feedback

What if there was a way to gain more meaningful feedback from your school’s appraisal?

Opal Review, developed by ISBL Approved Partner BlueSky Education, is a simple and intuitive facilitated 360° feedback tool designed to support a developmental, actionable approach to performance reviews for all staff in an organisation. It provides the opportunity for individuals to gain vital feedback from a number of sources, offering a more balanced way to identify strengths and areas for development. 

Opal Review supports a forward-focused performance review strategy for individuals within schools, trusts and groups. Opal Review includes competency frameworks that can be used as a starting point for conversations around professional development. Bespoke frameworks can effortlessly be created in the admin dashboard, allowing performance reviews to be tailored to the specific competencies and behaviour attributes of any role or level of seniority.

Opal Review can be purchased as a stand-alone annual subscription, starting at just £250 per year for small organisation, and is included for r free as part of an existing BlueSky Education subscription.  Learn more and [book a free, no-obligation demo here](https://bit.ly/OpalReviewOffer).
