We are absolutely thrilled to share some fantastic news with our Chapelford community! Following our HPL (High Performance Learning) accreditation day last week, we are proud and delighted to announce that Chapelford is now officially a High Performance Learning School! This means we have been recognised as a school that creates a culture where every child is empowered to achieve highly, not just academically, but through key values and learning behaviours that support lifelong success.

This recognition celebrates the incredible work of our staff and children, led by Mrs Hackett, in creating a school culture rooted in ambition, values, and lifelong learning.

Key Strengths Highlighted by the Accreditors Include:

Values-Led Learning
Our VAA’s (Values, Attitudes and Attributes) are fully embedded into everyday school life through our existing Chapelford values and language. Children are using these to guide their learning and behaviour, supported by purposeful assemblies and celebrations.

OPAL in Action
Our OPAL provision plays a huge role in helping children explore and live out our values in meaningful, practical ways. It’s more than play, it’s powerful learning in action.

 Ambassadors Making a Difference
Our Chapelford Ambassadors truly shine as role models. They demonstrate strong responsibility and leadership, and peer support and recognition are visible across school.

Comments from the Accreditation Report We’re Proud to Share:

 “The school has a wonderful atmosphere – calm, purposeful, and full of happy children!”
 “The team culture and dedication of staff to the HPL journey is inspiring.”
 “It was wonderful to see the Chapelford values so deeply embedded – celebrated in assemblies, seen in lessons, and clearly reflected in the children’s behaviour.”
 “Celebration is a key part of life at Chapelford, and it’s beautiful to see children striving to be better versions of themselves.”
 “Staff are a credit to the school – passionate, professional, and deeply committed to every child’s growth.”
 “The children’s ability to self-regulate, collaborate and articulate their values is impressive – they truly bring our vision to life.”

We couldn’t be prouder of our whole school community. This recognition belongs to every member of Team Chapelford – staff, children and families alike.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to continuing our journey together as a High Performance Learning School!
