03 National Professional Qualifications (NPQs)

Applications for the 2025 cohort of NPQs have now closed and programmes have begun. If they haven’t done so already, programme members will shortly receive onboarding and seminar details from either Best Practice Network (NPQEL, NPQH, NPQSL, NPQSENCO, NPQLT, NPQLTD, NPQLBC) or Teach First (NPQEYL, NPQLL, NPQLPM) A reminder that this is the only new cohort of NPQs for 2025/26.

We’re looking forward to meeting all our NPQ attendees and facilitators at your first face-to-face sessions in January 2026.

All NPQ for SENCOs participants will soon be invited to complete an online survey and encouraged to share their valuable feedback. This is a great opportunity for you to share your thoughts and reflections on this new NPQ and help to shape future programmes.
