Appraisals at ATLP
Our appraisal system focuses on supporting our employees to be the very best they can be so they can support the school/service to achieve its priorities. There are no set targets and we work on the assumption that everyone will be successful. We put staff at the heart of what we do so they can put children at the heart of what they do.
Enhanced annual leave
We offer enhanced annual leave and concessionary days to all support staff as follows;
- 26 days leave: up to 5 years’ service.
- 29 days leave: up to 10 years’ service.

Staff lottery
The ATLP have recently introduced a staff lottery, which is completely free to enter, for all staff members! A draw will be made each month and the winner will receive £125.00! Staff will be listed alphabetically and assigned a number to be included in each draw. A random generator will be used to select the winning number and the winner will be shared to all staff.
