St Edmund’s College & Prep School is proud to announce its admission to the Fellowship and Global Community of HPL Schools, following its official accreditation as a High Performance Learning (HPL) World Class School. This very significant achievement reflects the school’s ongoing commitment to delivering academic excellence.
The HPL World Class School Award is a prestigious, globally recognised academic award bestowed upon educational institutions at the forefront of educational thinking. The accreditation indicates that a school has adopted the HPL philosophy and language framework, transforming its teaching culture to achieve the very best outcomes for all students.
HPL’s framework explicitly teaches children the cognitive skills, values, attributes and attitudes adopted by High Performers. Based on extensive research across cognitive psychology, neuroscience and teaching methodology, it optimises learning opportunities, individual support and personal motivation.
HPL works on the principle that every child can learn the tools of High Performance and equips pupils with the skills and mindset necessary for success, both in their academic endeavours and in their lives beyond the classroom. It demands the very best quality practice from all teaching staff and ensures high expectations for every child.
After delivering the keynote speech at a dinner held in Windsor for the Heads of newly involved HPL Schools, Matthew Mostyn, Headmaster at St Edmund’s College & Prep School, said: “We are thrilled to be recognised as a HPL World Class School. This is the culmination of a rigorous two-year application and accreditation process, and I would like to thank everyone involved in getting us to this point. The support and commitment of parents, as well as the hard work of our Governors, the Leadership Team and every member of our staff are what has made this possible. This prestigious academic accreditation reaffirms our commitment to providing a transformative educational experience at St Edmund’s – one that empowers students to reach their full potential and become confident, global citizens who are equipped to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
“As well as consistently improving outcomes for students, High Performance Learning is known to bring significant benefits for parents and teaching staff alike. This new status for St Edmund’s unlocks access to global competition opportunities for our pupils, world class training for our teachers and a powerful network of educators worldwide. This is a significant milestone, and one that puts us in an elite class of schools worldwide.”
