Schools which seem to improve and become more effective have an unrelenting focus on student growth.  \nWhile there is no single key determinant of an effective school, research tells us that there are a number of things that schools can do to become better and maximise the chances of success for every child.  \nThese actions emerge from what are called the correlates, or indicators, of effective schools and research confirms that the interrelated indicators of success include: high academic standards and expectations; a school climate which focuses on achievement; instructional leadership; high performing teachers; students with a strong self-efficacy and confidence as learners; parents with high aspirations and expectations; learning resources that are fit-for-purpose; and excellent school governance which includes sound financial management.  \nThe Cambridge International Evaluation Domainsand Standards are based on these researchinformed indicators of effective schools and have been designed to help school leadership answer two critical questions:  \n1. What do effective schools look like?  \n2. How do we compare to them?  \nThe following domains and standards help articulate the first, whilst our self-evaluation tools and consultancy services help address the second. Using these standards as a basis for comparison represents an opportunity for schools to engage with their three main stakeholders – students, teachers and parents – and collect data that will help them reflect on their performance, design improvement strategies and track progress over time.  \nThe focus for school improvement is, therefore, unambiguously a student learning culture and everything that contributes to that culture, such as leadership, teacher quality, governance and parental support and involvement.  \nWe hope these domains and standards support you in your school improvement endeavours.
