Synthetic demo data — not real staff responses. Every number and finding below is generated. Clear the synthetic rows before showing this to a school.
SYNTHETIC DEMO DATA — NOT REAL STAFF RESPONSESSchool Culture ScanA measure of the social capital your school runs on — the connections, trust, shared understanding and collective belief thatdetermine whether good ideas actually spread.Every member of staff answered 26 questions anonymously. Their answers are combined into four dimensions. No individual response is ever shown,and nothing here can be traced back to a person.StructuralThe connections themselves — who talks to whom, how often, and whether thetime and routines exist for it.RelationalThe trust in those connections — whether staff feel safe being honest,asking for help, and admitting difficulty.CognitiveThe shared understanding — whether staff mean the same things by goodteaching and pull in the same direction.EfficacyThe collective belief — whether staff think that together they can moveoutcomes for the pupils in front of them.School Culture Scan · wave 1 · 53 respondentsDRAFT COPY — REPLACE BEFORE PRESENTING1 / 6
Slide 1
SYNTHETIC DEMO DATA — NOT REAL STAFF RESPONSESAverage of Each DimensionHow each part of your school's culture scored, 1 to 6. The lowest bar is where the foundation is thinnest.Structural3.1Relational4.6Cognitive4.4Efficacy4.5123456Relational is doing the load-bearing work: it scores 4.6 of 6 and holds the strongest ties to the rest of the network(average edge 0.33). Protect it before anything else.School Culture Scan · wave 1 · 53 respondents2 / 6

SYNTHETIC DEMO DATA — NOT REAL STAFF RESPONSESNetwork Analysis of the ResultsWhich element is load-bearing. Thick lines connect dimensions that rise and fall together once the others are held constant; adimension on the edge is where effort won't spread on its own.0.290.06−0.060.290.410.40Structural3.1Relational4.6Cognitive4.4Efficacy4.5Positive tieNo direct tie (|r| < 0.15)Line thickness = strengthStructural looks tied to Cognitive (r = 0.24), but that tie disappears once Relational and Efficacy are held constant(partial 0.06) — the connection runs through them, not directly.School Culture Scan · wave 1 · 53 respondents3 / 6

SYNTHETIC DEMO DATA — NOT REAL STAFF RESPONSESEfficacy–Structure GapWhen belief runs ahead of the structures meant to carry it, efficacy is resting on goodwill, not infrastructure.1.3points of separationEfficacy ahead of StructuralEfficacy 4.5 · Structural 3.1123456Structural 3.1Efficacy 4.5Efficacy runs 1.3 points ahead of Structural (Efficacy 4.5 vs Structural 3.1). Staff believe in what they can do together,but the structures meant to carry that belief are not keeping up. Efficacy is resting on goodwill rather than oninfrastructure — and goodwill is spent by every departure, timetable change and difficult year.School Culture Scan · wave 1 · 53 respondents4 / 6

SYNTHETIC DEMO DATA — NOT REAL STAFF RESPONSESWhere to StartThree moves that follow from these results. Each one targets the thinnest part of the structure rather than the loudest symptom.1Protect what is load-bearingThe strongest dimension is carrying the others. Name it, and defend the time and routines that produce it before adding anything new.2Build the thinnest layer firstStructural is the lowest score and the least connected. Effort spent elsewhere will not spread on its own until this is in place.3Re-measure in one termRun the scan again as wave 2. The comparison, not the single snapshot, is what tells you whether the change took.School Culture Scan · wave 1 · 53 respondentsDRAFT COPY — REPLACE BEFORE PRESENTING6 / 6
