Learn from experts

Join one-to-one coaching sessions where you’ll get advice from experts and tailored feedback on your performance.

Flexible learning

This programme is designed to be completed alongside your daily role. It is delivered in short, bite-sized chunks which will fit around your existing commitments.

Form a strong support network

Connect with other school leaders, share your collective expertise and build a network with people who face similar challenges as you.

Traditionally, professional development in leadership has focused on personal traits, such as the qualities of dynamic and charismatic leadership. This course pays more attention to tackling the persistent problems of your daily role.

National Qualifications, Local Delivery

We work with a fantastic NPQ Delivery Partner Network made up of England's leading Teaching School Hubs (TSHs), MATs and other schools groups to deliver NPQs across England. By working with local schools groups, we ensure that these national qualifications are contextualised to your locality with Face-to-Face events facilitated by local experts and held in local schools.

Online-only groups

Face-to-Face events are one of the most popular aspects of the NPQH and we always advise NPQH participants to attend where possible. However, if you are unable to take time off school to attend the 4 Face-to-Face events an online-only option is available. Our online-only NPQH substitutes the Face-to-Face events with facilitated online webinars and awards the same DfE-accredited NPQH certificate. Simply select "Online-only" when completing the "Engagement Route" section of the NPQH application form.
