The World Class School Award Scheme (WCSA) focuses on building on existing good practice within the school to optimise teaching and learning, embed the HPL philosophy that every student can perform highly and systematically build the cognitive competencies that research demonstrates lead to success. 

The style of the WCS Award Scheme is for schools, supported by an HPL coach, to take responsibility for developing their own unique vision for implementing High Performance Learning in their school, interpreting the philosophy and framework of High Performance Learning for their particular context. They hold themselves accountable for ensuring High Performance Learning is embedded throughout the school, improving student achievement.
