High Performing Specialist Status
Schools that demonstrate that they are achieving significantly higher results than other schools may be invited to apply to be designated as High Performing Specialist Schools. This typically allows the school to apply for a further specialism, which brings with it additional funding so that the school can develop that further specialism. By 2009 some 900 schools (30% of specialist schools) had achieved this status.

Famous quotes containing the words high, performing, specialist and/or status:
“High on a throne of royal state, which far
Outshone the wealth of Ormus and of Ind,
Or where the gorgeous East with richest hand
Show’rs on her kings barbaric pearl and gold,
Satan exalted sat, by merit raised
To that bad eminence; and, from despair
Thus high uplifted beyond hope, aspires
Beyond thus high, insatiate to pursue
Vain war with Heav’n, and by success untaught,
His proud imaginations”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
