We have developed a tried and tested approach to school improvement. Each school in our trust is supported to improve, whatever their starting point.

Each member school maintains its own identity but works to ensure that the vision, values and purpose of our Trust are at the core of its school improvement work. This means resources need to be flexible and deployed across all schools where necessary.

School improvement model 

The guiding principle for school improvement is to make the biggest difference to the life chances of the pupils in schools. This model is used to drive continual improvement, accepting that school improvement is the responsibility of us all.

Each school will maintain their own identity but will work to ensure that the vision, values and purpose of the Trust are at the core of our school improvement work. This means resources need to be flexible and deployed across all schools where necessary.

This model will provide ‘guidance’ for the Education team and as a result will direct school improvement. It is to be used intelligently, and not as a checklist of minimum operating standards. Our schools and Education team will consider the quality of the eight steps to improvement.

As a Trust we offer guidance and support within these key areas, in order to support, develop and challenge our schools to improve.

School improvement cycle

We follow a cycle of school improvement. Every term, an audit meeting is held which each school uses to determine needs. These then inform planned actions for the term ahead.

Resources are allocated and schools receive bespoke support according to their needs. This work is reviewed and evaluated before a new audit takes place.

Each school is graded according to school improvement need and capacity to improve.

We will take into account the length of time each school has been in the Trust. The phases will help determine key expectations for each school.
