School Improvement & Institutional Effectiveness
The systems layer: timetabling, appraisal, admissions, data flow and governance — the structures that determine whether any academic initiative can hold.
What the engagement covers
Systems review
Where decisions are made, how information moves, and which processes are due a rethink.
Governance & decision rights
A clear map of trust, principal and academic-head authority, so improvement work does not stall in committee.
Academic operations
Timetable, staffing model, appraisal and admissions reviewed as one interlocking system rather than four departments.
Data infrastructure
A defined KPI set and the reporting rhythm that makes it visible to the board every term.
