The World Class School Award Scheme
The 2-year HPL World Class School Award Scheme provides a systematic transformational change process which enables a school to adopt the HPL philosophy and framework, to reach the demanding standards required for accreditation as an HPL World Class School and to secure entry into The Fellowship of HPL World Class Schools. The Scheme is aimed at the school’s Senior Leadership who, supported by us, will lead the adoption within the school and take ownership for its successful implementation. The HPL framework builds on the school’s existing good practice and further enhances teaching and learning to come closer to the goal of every child reaching high levels of performance.
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.
At the end of the award scheme, your school will undertake a formal accreditation process which confirms your compliance against the HPL World Class School standards and, provided you are successful, you will be accredited with the prestigious HPL World Class School Award and recognised as a school which provides an exceptional level of education.
Those achieving World Class School status are then eligible to join The Fellowship of HPL World Class Schools; a community that drives what it means to be world-class, shaping educational futures with ambitious, like-minded educationalists.

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.
