Description
We want to make sure that there are enough top leaders across the country and, in particular, in our most challenging schools and areas. That's why we are delighted to have selected 41 leading providers to deliver the new and improved National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) for school leaders.
We have worked closely with experts from the educational and other sectors to update and improve the NPQs, to give teachers what they need to be top class leaders - including a stronger emphasis on financial and risk management and improvement strategies for schools and staff.
The new, gold standard NPQs cover the full range of leadership roles in today's school system, including, for the first time, a National Professional Qualification for Executive Leadership (NPQEL) for MAT leaders and executive headteachers.
The new NPQs give the best providers more control over leadership professional development. Working within flexible frameworks, the new providers will design, deliver, and assess one or more of the new NPQs, giving them more freedom to meet the needs of the participants, through specialised content and delivery methods.
The new providers will be offering the improved NPQs from academic year 17/18. Prospective or current school leader interested in enrolling for one of the new NPQs, should visit GOV.UK. to find out more.
