Negotiated on agreement of scope of work

“The arrangements put in place by the national support school have led swiftly to significant improvements”
Ofsted report following a Star Institute deployment
“Star Academies are currently offering much support, and evidence of the impact of this was clear. There is, for example, a more focused and purposeful approach to improvement planning. Crucial issues to be tackled are recognised and efforts are being made to enable greater capacity at senior and middle leadership levels.”
