The World Class School Award Scheme
Accreditation as a World Class School is a prestigious achievement; recognising the very best schools in the world at the forefront of educational practice. It is an acknowledgement that a school has met very demanding standards for exemplifying total school commitment to high performance, resulting in more fulfilled teachers and students who achieve great things.
The 2-year Award Scheme provides a systematic transformational change process which enables a school to embed the HPL philosophy and framework and reach the standards required of HPL World Class Schools. It focuses on building existing good practice to embed the philosophy that every student can perform highly for improving student outcomes.
At the end of the award scheme, your achievement will be recognised as a school which provides an exceptional level of education, and you can be accredited with the prestigious World Class School Award.
Those achieving World Class School status can join the Fellowship of World Class Schools; a community that drives what it means to be world-class, shaping educational futures with ambitious, like-minded educationalists.
There are several routes to accreditation as a World Class School and the right one for you will depend on where you are now on a continuum of good to great. Schools that already have a strong and stable leadership team, are already achieving good results, and are ambitious to become even better may be able to embark on the two-year Award Scheme straight away. This pathway focuses on Senior Leadership being able to drive the change within their school.

Testimonials
Discover what senior leaders in our schools have said about the HPL World Class School Award.
Establishing an emotionally safe and positive environment helps pupils achieve their academic potential, and our pupils now consistently achieve above national average results. The teaching and support staff are critical to the school’s success through their focus on each child’s individual educational requirements.
This year Pate's students achieved the best A level results in the history of the school and our achievement at GCSE was also the highest for a number of years. Our journey with HPL has supported staff and students alike to really believe that all pupils can achieve. The careful development of HPL skills, attributes and behaviours resulted in happy students, better placed than ever before to succeed and achieve.
