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. 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. ![Trust Benefits](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/images/5_circles.jpg) --- ![Key Benefits](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/images/the-school-improvement-strategy-2.jpg)![](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/images/tier-arrows.jpg) ### School Improvement - [School Improvement Offer ](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/school-improvement-offer) - [Our Values ](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/our-values) - [The School Improvement Team ](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/the-school-improvement-team) - [School Improvement Strategy ](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/school-improvement-strategy) - [Enhancing Teaching & Curriculum ](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/enhancing-teaching-curriculum) - [Enhancing Behaviour & Attitudes ](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/enhancing-behaviour-attitudes) - [Enhancing Personal Development ](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/enhancing-personal-development) - [Enhancing Leadership ](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/enhancing-leadership) - [School Improvement Impact ](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/school-improvement-impact) - [Wider Support Services ](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/wider-support-services) ## Follow us on Social Media [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/lincolnshiregatewayacademies/) [LinkedIn](https://uk.linkedin.com/company/lincolnshire-gateway-academies-trust) [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/lincolnshiregateway/) ![Lincolnshire Gateway Academies Trust](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/images/logo/logo(1).png) ### Lincolnshire Gateway Academies Trust Gateway House North Holme Road Louth LN11 0HG [ 01507 353450 ](tel:01507353450) [ enquiries@lincolnshiregateway.co.uk ](mailto:enquiries@lincolnshiregateway.co.uk) ### Our Schools Toll Bar Sixth Form Waltham Toll Bar Academy Cleethorpes Academy Somercotes Academy Louth Academy Kirton Academy Reynolds Academy Theddlethorpe Academy Pilgrim Academy Waltham Gateway Scartho Gateway Academy Kidgate Academy ### Quick Links [Join Our Trust](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/key-benefits) [School Improvement](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/school-improvement-offer) [Our Services](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/facilities-management) [Governance](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/our-trustees) [News](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/news) [Contact Us](https://lincolnshiregateway.co.uk/contact) © Copyright 2026 Lincolnshire Gateway Academies Trust School & Trust Websites by ![Schudio](https://lincolnshire-gateway-academies-trust.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png)
