However, in surveys and research, we have found some compelling evidence that after just two years, the impact of HPL is very significant.
Some of the most interesting statistics we have found so far:
- 67% of HPL schools achieved their best results in their own recent histories.
- 89% of teachers felt that HPL had a positive or no effect on their workload.
- 95% of teaching staff reported their students had become more confident and engaged in their learning.

In 2019, we saw improvements in student outcomes as 67% of HPL schools achieved the best results, across all levels of examination, in their most recent history.
We also found that GCSE/iGCSE results reported by HPL schools increased, on average, by 9% during the 2-year award scheme.
Student well-being
We asked 200 teachers about their student's perceptions and well-being. 93% of teaching staff believed that HPL had improved student well-being and self-esteem. We also found that 95% of teaching staff report that students have become more confident and engaged in their learning.
We surveyed students too, and we found that HPL is changing their perceptions of themselves. After 2 years, 9% more students believe they are capable of high performance in an HPL school than a non-HPL school.
HPL is creating a more optimistic culture in schools as 17% more students believe that everyone is capable of high performance after 2 years compared with non-HPL schools.
