--- title: "HPL" url: "https://www.greatsankey.org/curriculum/hpl" school: "Great Sankey High School" --- # HPL At the core of the High Performance Learning approach is the belief that every child has the potential to achieve at high levels. By utilising evidence from neuroscience and psychology, HPL challenges the notion that only a select few can excel academically. The evidence informed framework has allowed the academies to develop the ways in which we teach, ensuring that all students in our charge can experience success and build self-belief. This in turn will empower students to take ownership of their education and grow into citizens who can compete at the local, national and international stage. Through the HPL journey we aim to embed a common language for learning among students, teachers, and parents, creating a more cohesive and informed educational environment. By weaving HPL into all aspects of school life, aligning the ethos and framework to provide rigour, coherence, and consistency in the curriculum and teaching methods, HPL will enable the development of higher-order thinking skills and success competencies among students. We aim to extend this beyond academic achievements, enhancing student confidence, aspirations, and overall satisfaction. High Performance Learning Services Ltd, the organisation behind the HPL framework, has already influenced the lives of over 100,000 students and supported the professional development of 8,500 teachers in more than 75 schools across 18 countries. The framework incorporates over 30 years of research and practical experience, and helps students to reach high levels of cognitive performance by focusing on the development of a specific range of skills (ACPs) and behaviours (VAAs). ![](https://www.greatsankey.org/images/HPL.png) ### Education - [Our Curriculum](https://www.greatsankey.org/curriculum/curriculum) - [Curriculum Guides by Year](https://www.greatsankey.org/curriculum/curriculum-guides-by-year) - [Knowledge Organisers](https://www.greatsankey.org/curriculum/knowledge-organisers) - [Home Learning & Revision](https://www.greatsankey.org/curriculum/homework) - [Personal Development](https://www.greatsankey.org/our-school/personal-development) - [Enrichment](https://www.greatsankey.org/curriculum/enrichment) - [Extra Curricular Timetable](https://www.greatsankey.org/curriculum/extra-curricular-timetable) - [Reading and Literacy](https://www.greatsankey.org/curriculum/reading-and-literacy) - [Careers Education, Information, Advice & Guidance](https://www.greatsankey.org/student-support/careers) - [British Values](https://www.greatsankey.org/curriculum/british-values) - [Exams](https://www.greatsankey.org/curriculum/exams) - [Assessment Windows](https://www.greatsankey.org/curriculum/assessment-windows) - [Year 9 Guided Options](https://www.greatsankey.org/curriculum/y9-guided-options) - [HPL](https://www.greatsankey.org/curriculum/hpl) ![Great Sankey High School](https://files.schudio.com/great-sankey-high-school/images/logo/Omega_Part_of_Logo_White_Mono.png) **Great Sankey High School** Barrow Hall Lane Warrington Cheshire WA5 3AA Tel: 01925 724118 Fax: 01925 727396 Email: ## Follow Us - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/GreatSankeyHS/) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/omega-multi-academy-trust) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/great_sankey_high_school/) ## Translation © Copyright 2016–2026 Great Sankey High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.greatsankey.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) Update cookies preferences
