School Improvement Strategy
School improvement at Lincolnshire Gateway is based on the principle of tiered support. Academies that are in a strong position are supported in Tier 1 and 2 but are also expected to use their strengths to support academies in Tier 3 and 4.
Schools in Tier 1 – 3 are allowed varying degrees of local autonomy, with schools in Tier 4 being supported centrally with limited autonomy until improvements are secured.

The Executive Principal, Director of School Improvement and CEO, in consultation with the Principal and taking into account key performance indicators; Ofsted reports, pupil outcomes and any other relevant indicators, determine the tier of support required.
The DSI assesses areas of need with Principals and offers support and guidance to drive improvement. The DSI supports Principals with the Quality Assurance of the Curriculum and effectiveness of teaching and learning. The DSI works with Secondary leadership to support them to reach KPIs and visits schools to assess and monitor progress towards KPIs.
The DSI and EP report back to the CEO and assessments are made to determine which stage of support is required for each member academy.
