“SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES CAN CHANGE ONE ANOTHER FOR THE BETTER. WORKING TOGETHER, THEY CAN RADICALLY TRANSFORM THE FUTURES OF YOUNG PEOPLE.”

Redefining Outstanding

A member-owned social enterprise open to all schools seeking values-led, research-informed change who share a broader understanding of school purpose and quality based on the Four Quadrant Framework, and commit to research and development, long-term partnership and peer support, in order to embed this deep into their practice.

The Schools of Tomorrow Framework

Our approach is built round the Schools of Tomorrow Four Quadrant Framework, which was launched at the RSA in October 2013. It was developed by school leaders drawing on a secure base of research evidence and values.
Truly outstanding schools will demonstrate outstanding performance in more than academic achievement. They address all four quadrants of the Framework. That’s what our students deserve, and we believe we need to be accountable for that, helping others to see its significance too.
