WISC is delighted to announce a new Gold Partnership with High Performance Learning (HPL) for the year ahead. This collaboration marks an exciting step forward for our association and our schools, bringing together two organisations that share a deep commitment to ambition, inclusion, and educational excellence.
HPL’s global reputation for transforming learning cultures aligns powerfully with WISC’s mission to champion the strengths, diversity, and innovation of the Welsh independent sector. Through this partnership, our schools will benefit from enriched professional learning, access to world‑leading expertise, and opportunities to strengthen the aspirations and outcomes of learners across Wales.
We look forward to working closely with the HPL team and building a partnership that has real, lasting impact for our school community.
Emma Verrier (CEO, WISC)
“Partnering with High Performance Learning as a Gold Sponsor is a milestone I’m genuinely thrilled about. HPL’s values resonate so strongly with the spirit of our sector — the belief that every young person can achieve highly, and that schools flourish when they are supported by thoughtful, research‑driven practice.
This partnership feels like the start of something meaningful: a chance to learn from one another, to stretch our collective thinking, and to give our schools access to expertise that will make a real difference to learners’ lives. We’re incredibly grateful to HPL for their support and excited for what we can build together.”
Gareth Collier, (Executive Director at HPL)
“High Performance Learning (HPL) is delighted to be partnering with WISC schools for 2026. The opportunity to work with the forward thinking, courageous leaders of the Welsh Independent Schools to focus on the value of pedagogy in furthering the mission to realise the goal that #everyone can is exciting. We look forward to positive connections, conversations and educational practices.”
