Data Informed Decision-making & Accountability

All of our primary schools use PiXL assessment and the same self-evaluation format.  This alignment allows schools to work together effectively and ensures the central accountability structures are in a shared language.

This is key as Trustees are accountable for the performance of all schools.

Each term there is an Academy Review Meeting chaired by the CEO which involves the Headteacher, Senior Leaders, Local Governors and a Trustee. 

The process draws on a range of data (statutory data, PiXL, CRE, SEF, OFSTED, Academy Improvement Development Plan updates) to review the school’s improvements and help support further improvement. 

These meetings also function as a key element in the Local Governance Committee Meeting structure, providing a focus on standards and agreeing future monitoring actions.

These meetings provide an opportunity to identify any additional support a school may need or expertise and support they may offer elsewhere.
