An Explicit Improvement Agenda
The school leadership team and/or governing body have established and are driving a strong improvement agenda for the school, grounded in evidence from research and practice and expressed in terms of improvements in measurable student outcomes. Explicit and clear school-wide targets for improvement have been set and communicated to parents and families, teachers and students, with accompanying timelines.

Minimal attention is paid to data (e.g. NAPLAN results) and there is very limited communication of school results or of intentions for improvement to the wider school community.
Expectations for significant school improvement are low and staff tend to ‘explain’ current achievement levels in terms of students’ socioeconomic backgrounds and/or geographical location. There is little evidence that the staff of the school have a shared commitment to improving outcomes for every student and this appears to be contributing to a culture of underperformance.
There is little evidence that the school is looking to external sources to identify evidence-based strategies for improvement.
