The importance of building staff capacity in relation to the HPS idea has been identified throughout literature (2,6,12). Staff at BNPS attended a HPS upskilling and idea generating day where the philosophy behind the HPS framework was explained. At the end of the day 60% of the staff identified that they had a good understanding of the HPS model, 30% partially and 5% not at all. 5% did not return the survey. In response to this, a HPS activities report has been placed as a permanent item on the staff agenda to keep the staff up to date on what is happening around the school and give them a chance to contribute. More needs to be done in this area as the success of the implementation of HPS will depend largely on the teachers and their capacity to implement it (2).
