Processes Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5

Ownership of the clusterprogramme by individualschools

Individual clusterschools feel they havevery little input into thedesign and running of the cluster wideprogramme.

The design and runningof the clusterprogramme takes intoaccount some needs of individual schools butmay not represent theviews of all schools.

Most schools feel thatthey have had input intothe design and running of the cluster wideprogramme and feelsome ownership of theprocess.

All cluster schools have a strongvoice in the design and running of the cluster programme and this isbeginning to be reflected in theoutcomes for each school.

All cluster schools have anequal say in cluster decisionmaking and have activelyparticipated in the design andrunning of the clusterprogramme. This is reflectedin positive outcomes for eachschool.
