The PiXL Club is a not for profit collaboration of secondary school leaders headed up by Sir John Rowling. It was formed in 2007 following the enormous success of the work of Sir John Rowling and the London Performance Collaborative with large numbers of secondary schools across London.
There are currently 170 member schools. This is a club that some have said to be the "best thing they have seen in education". PiXL originally started as a London based project, however following its successes it has expanded across all corners of England. The success of PiXL is due to its strategic focus and commitment from its members.
