NPQ Applications for Autumn 2024 are now open… but not for long!

Applications for the next NPQ intake in October 2024 are now open. We are pleased to be offering the full suite of five Leadership NPQs during this window.

We are now offering all 5 leadership NPQs for school and trust leaders in Halton, Warrington and Wigan in the Autumn 2024 term.

The DfE have awarded licences to deliver the new NPQ for SENCos to start this coming Autumn term. This replaces the current SENCo qualification

Applications close on the 28th July 2024 – apply early to increase your chance of securing a scholarship(further funding details listed below).

Autumn 2024 NPQ Funding

The DfE have announced that funding for the next leadership NPQ cohort will mainly be targeted towards schools that work in areas of higher deprivation.

Funding for leadership NPQs will be limited but in summary all state schools will be eligible for fully-funded places on the:

• NPQ in Headship.
• Early Headship Coaching Offer.
• NPQ for SENCOs

For all other leadership NPQs, schools with the highest 50% of pupil premium pupils will be eligible for fully funded places, as well as early years and 16 to 19 educational settings identified as having high disadvantage.

Whilst eligibility has been set, availability of funded places will be limited. Early applications are required to have the opportunity of subsidised CPD.

The DfE are currently confirming access to the funded places and will re-open their online registration system to check eligibility in July.
