Understand where you are now
Review your operating model
Review your current operating model to make sure you have the resource and capacity needed to add a new school.
This process will help you:
- Understand what you're spending on processes, for both staff and goods and services, and evaluate how effectively these are working
- Design a central team structure that has the capacity to support a new school

Doing a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis helps you to think self-evaluatively about:
- Where you're currently performing well
- Where you need to improve
- What opportunities adding a school presents
- What threats adding a school may pose
