Clarity Index
A strategic mirror for leadership teams: clarity on what’s working, what’s missing, and what’s next.
Curriculum & Strategy
Guiding Question: Are subjects sequenced with intentional links across year groups?
Reactive
Curriculum is a set of subjects delivered in isolation, with limited sequencing or contextualisation.
Evolving
Clearer sequencing and some alignment, but gaps remain in coherence, sustainability, or contextual fit. Priorities compete for attention.
Strategic & Sustainable
Curriculum is coherent, contextual, and future-proofed. Every subject builds knowledge and skills intentionally. Strategy is evidence-based, sustainable, and widely understood.
Why this matters: Curriculum → Drives student outcomes & stakeholder trust.
Leadership Alignment
Guiding Question: Does every leader know how their role connects to the school’s strategic vision?
Reactive
Leadership roles and responsibilities exist but overlap. Priorities are unclear and day-to-day demands dominate.
Evolving
Leaders broadly share the vision but alignment wavers under pressure. Structures are functional but not optimised.
Strategic & Sustainable
Leadership team is fully aligned with the vision, confident in roles, and equipped to deliver with clarity and consistency. Leadership structures drive capacity and long-term impact.
Why this matters: Leadership → Creates consistency & momentum.
Culture & Ethos
Guiding Question: Would parents, staff, and students all describe your ethos in the same way?
Reactive
Values are stated (e.g. website/vision statements) but not consistently lived in daily practice.
Evolving
Ethos is visible in parts of the school but not fully embedded. Mixed experiences for staff, parents, and students.
Strategic & Sustainable
Ethos is authentic, consistent, and lived at every level. Culture builds trust, pride, and reputation, making the school a first choice for families and staff.
Why this matters: Culture → Builds loyalty, reputation & identity.
Systems & Data
Guiding Question: Does your data directly inform classroom practice and strategic decisions?
Reactive
Processes are ad hoc or duplicative. Data is collected but not used effectively to drive decisions.
Evolving
Systems work but consume time. Data is analysed in some areas but insights are inconsistent.
Strategic & Sustainable
Systems are streamlined and purposeful. Data provides clarity, empowers decisions, and drives continuous improvement across the organisation.
Why this matters: Systems → Frees staff to focus on learning.
Change Management
Guiding Question: Do staff feel supported and engaged when new initiatives are introduced?
Reactive
Change feels disruptive and reactive. Initiatives are launched but not sustained.
Evolving
Change projects are planned but momentum is hard to maintain. Results vary.
Strategic & Sustainable
Change is strategic, stakeholder-driven, and embedded. School adapts with stability, clarity, and measurable impact.
Why this matters: Change → Protects progress and ensures sustainability
