How It Works

The Assessment
Process

Six clear stages from registration to award. Every stage is designed to be developmental, not just evaluative. Your assessor is a practising school leader, someone who understands the realities of the job from the inside.

01 Registration

Register your school with LANDMARK. You will be assigned a dedicated assessor and receive the full self-audit framework and guidance notes.

02 Self-Audit

Complete the LANDMARK self-audit against all 8 Staging Posts. Gather evidence, grade your practice and write your commentary. LANDMARK support is available throughout.

03 Pre-Assessment Review

Your assessor reviews your self-audit and provides developmental feedback. A date for the full assessment visit is agreed together.

04 Assessment Day

A full day in school: meetings with leaders at all levels, evidence review, a school tour and a genuine professional conversation about your leadership. Verbal feedback at the close of day.

05 Decision and Report

A full written report within ten working days. The report celebrates your strengths, confirms the award outcome and sets clear development priorities for the year ahead.

06 Award and Annual Renewal

Your LANDMARK award is granted. Annual reaccreditation keeps the standard alive, and your leadership growing. The journey continues.
