The Leadership Behaviour Review is a short, structured form completed by leaders ahead of a leadership meeting.

It provides an aggregated, school-level view of how consistently leadership behaviours are experienced across the school. It is designed to inform discussion and decision-making, not to evaluate individuals.

Individual responses are not identified or shared.

What this review is for

This review helps leadership teams to:

• identify patterns in leadership practice
• surface areas of strength and inconsistency
• focus discussion on what matters most right now

The output supports the next stage of the process, where leaders collectively decide which behaviours to prioritise.

What this review is not

This review is:

• not a performance management tool
• not an evaluation of individuals or roles
• not a ranking exercise

Honest responses help leadership teams choose priorities carefully and avoid overload.

How your responses are used

• Responses are grouped at school level using your school email domain.
• A summary report is generated once a minimum number of responses is reached.
• The report shows averages and patterns, not individual responses.
• Updated reports are produced as additional responses are submitted.

Before you begin

Please answer based on:

• your experience of leadership behaviours across the school
• what happens day to day, not what is intended
• how leadership practice holds up under pressure

There are no right answers. Accuracy matters more than optimism.

How this process works

This process has two distinct phases:

1. Review – leaders complete the Leadership Behaviour Review in advance, providing a school-level view of how leadership behaviours are currently experienced.
2. Decide – the leadership team uses that information, alongside professional judgement and school priorities, to agree foundational and focus behaviours.

The tools below support these two phases.

The Leadership Behaviour Review informs behaviour selection. Worked examples of how schools use this evidence are included in the How to introduce Everyone Succeeds in your school guide.
