Schools progress through three tiers over a minimum of three years: each tier demanding more, recognising more and giving more back to the school and the profession. Annual reaccreditation is required at every tier.
The foundation award. Schools are assessed against all 8 Staging Posts. To achieve accreditation, good practice must be demonstrated across all Staging Posts; no area of leadership can be significantly weak.
Distinguished schools go beyond their own walls. They share practice, build a culture of research and enquiry and demonstrate sustained impact. Distinguished cannot be achieved in Year 1 under any circumstances.
The highest honour LANDMARK bestows. Premier schools are sector leaders: mentoring others, driving innovation and shaping national leadership dialogue. Three years minimum. Non-negotiable.
