Signs of a Successful School

A successful school also should have Vision and Mission just like every successful organization outside the education sector.

No matter the size of the school there must be a set out Vision and Mission for the school, it helps the organization to know what to do and what not to do.

A vision is who, what our school will be in the nearest future, it is usually very brief and straight forward, a short sentence for that matter.
(In football for example, it is the goal post that we see though we are at the center of the pitch)

A mission  statement tells the world how we intend to achieve this vision we said earlier, it is those things we do that will  help us achieve our vision/goal

(In football, it is the strategy we want to use to score a goal in the net, who are we passing the ball to, how many players, who will play the shot and the ball must be in the net.)

After doing all this:
Every member of the school must be aware of this, written boldly visible to both school members, visitors and the public.

Every one in the school must have a role to play, no one is just there doing nothing, remembered we are going somewhere

There should be a channel of authority - who authorize who on the task assigned to him/ her

Individuals/ Groups/Department are responsible for all the consequences of their actions either good or not too good

Everyone gets paid, appreciated, applauded for their little efforts in helping us achieve our goal at the appropriate time

All efforts are coordinated. We know when to do this and when not to do this

We put organizational interest/goals before our Personal interests.

We are work as a team, with the believe that we are all in this together.yearle

Have a founder's day to celebrate momentum and achievements and evaluate efforts yearly (You can check out my post on "Top Notch School Event")

When all this are present in our school, the top here we come!
