The ethos of HPL mirrors our school’s own belief in the benefits of developing each child’s individual values and skills, rather than relying on a broad approach across a whole class or entire year. This means that we believe that all the students can be high performers, and we teach with these expectations in mind.
Using the research-based High Performance Learning approach developed by Professor Deborah Eyre, helps us to systematically build the cognitive competencies that lead a young person to thrive in school and later life. Through a combination of our curriculum and the HPL approach, we are able to raise the performance of every student. We embed the HPL philosophy throughout our school to create globally-minded enterprising learners, advanced performers, and accomplished leaders.

High Performance Learning (HPL) is a mission-driven organisation, working with schools and teachers to change the face of education and deliver student high performance for the many - whatever their background - not the few. HPL is a global movement for change, for any school, any age, in any country. It operates in conjunction with any subject or curriculum.
High Performance Learning theory suggests that most students are capable of achieving the high levels of academic performance once seen as the domain of the very few and that the role of a school is to help students make this a reality.
Each month we will focus on one of the qualities of a first-class learner:
Values Attitudes and Attributes (VAAs) - “How Great Learners Behave”
- Hard Working
- Empathy
- Agility
Advanced Cognitive Practices (ACPs) - “How Great Learners Think “
- Linking
- Meta-thinking
- Analysing
- Creating
- Realising
