National Professional Qualifications
We are delighted to be delivering the full suite of National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) in partnership with UCL Institute of Education to support leadership development at all levels.
UCL’s ‘outstanding’ NPQs are a
vailable for teachers and leaders who want to develop their knowledge and skills in school leadership, SEND and Early Years leadership and specialist areas of teaching practice.
There are now five NPQs for teachers and leaders who want to develop specialist expertise in leading teaching, teacher development, behaviour and culture, leading literacy or leading primary maths mastery. There are now five leadership NPQs which include senior leadership, Early Years leadership, headship, executive leadership and the new statutory SENCO qualification which is launching in Autumn 2024.
In addition to the National Professional Qualifications, we are also delivering the Early Headship Coaching Offer. This is a targeted coaching package for leaders in their first five years of headship.
