At our school, the adoption of High-Performance Learning (HPL) is driven by its proven effectiveness in enhancing educational outcomes across numerous secondary schools. By implementing HPL, schools have consistently reported significant academic and developmental gains, which we aim to replicate and build upon.

Curriculum Design & Learning

Secondary lessons are underpinned by a culture of research which challenges students to become intellectually curious and to take more risks in their learning. Learning is designed to develop domain specific skills whilst also improving subject knowledge. Teachers expect all students to be challenged by some of the work and to understand how to apply their skills and knowledge to new content.

Academic Excellence

Schools that have embraced HPL showcase a notable rise in academic performance. Not only have two-thirds of these schools achieved their best historical results, but they also experienced a marked 9% average increase in GCSE/iGCSE scores, a testament to the framework’s ability to elevate academic standards.

Enhanced Student Engagement

The impact of HPL extends beyond academic results. An overwhelming majority of educators in HPL schools have observed a positive shift in student engagement, with 95% reporting increased confidence and participation among students. This level of engagement is crucial for fostering a dynamic and stimulating learning environment.

Supportive Teaching Environment

Teachers also benefit from the HPL approach. The majority have found that it either positively affects or does not add to their workload, promoting a healthier work-life balance and contributing to a 23% reduction in staff turnover. Such stability is essential for maintaining a consistent and supportive educational setting.

Focus on Wellbeing

Importantly, HPL places a strong emphasis on student wellbeing, with significant improvements noted by 93% of staff. This holistic approach is vital in helping students develop not just academically but also emotionally, preparing them for the challenges of the future.

As we integrate HPL into our secondary curriculum, we are guided by these insights, confident in the framework’s capacity to foster a high-performing and nurturing educational experience for all students.
