Existing High Performing Specialist Schools (HPSS) will retain their current status until their next re-designation, i.e. three years after their latest re-designation.
HPSS which re-designated in 2008/09 will continue being funded for their options to at least end of August 2010 during which time they will be considered against the 2009 HPSS criteria.
Further guidance will be published in the near future.
