NPQ Programmes

Since the launch of the NPQ programme in 2021 we have supported over 900 participants through their NPQ journey.

We are proud to stand out as a provider committed to delivering high quality learning experiences. To do this, we select the very best facilitators and coaches from across our partnership to facilitate our programmes, and have created an offer we are confident meets the needs of existing aspirant leaders. 

 

Who are NPQs designed for?

Whether you are a teacher looking to deepen your expertise or a school leader wanting to stretch yourself to the next transition in your career, we offer an NPQ programme which is suitable for you. NPQs are a nationally recognised, DfE accredited suite of qualifications for teachers and school leaders. The NPQ offer covers all levels of leadership from middle to executive leadership.

Primary Director Redhill Academy Trust

As the Redhill Trust Director for Primary Schools, I have seen enormous value of staff undertaking high quality NPQs to strengthen both their areas of expertise in primary education and also their leadership skills. This has been clearly evident in recent Ofsted inspections where staff who have taken NPQs have talked more eloquently and confidently about the subjects or areas they lead, to inspectors. NPQs have also helped to retain talented professionals within our organisations, who have found career opportunities through facilitation and coaching.

Paul Crossley,

Director of Teaching Redhill Academy Trust

The NPQs have had a hugely positive impact on our trust staff. The range of the offer and the role-specific nature of each programme has really allowed our leaders and prospective leaders to experience high quality training that directly links with their work in schools.

Headteachers and other leaders have commented on the increase in confidence, understanding and skills of their staff and the greater impact this is having on the children in their schools
