New funding criteria
The DfE have announced that NPQ funding from Autumn 2024 will be targeted to those teachers and leaders working in the most challenging schools or educational settings, serving more disadvantaged communities. Therefore, funding to cover the full NPQ cost will only be available to teachers and leaders from the 50% of schools with the highest proportion of students who attract pupil premium funding and 16-19 educational settings identified as having high disadvantage. For the Early Years Leadership NPQ, highly disadvantaged early years setttings will also be eligible.
Funding will continue, however, to be available to all teachers and leaders from publicly funded schools and 16-19 educational organisations for the following NPQs:
- Leading Primary Maths
- SENCO
- Headship
- Early Headship Coaching Offer
For full details, visit Funding for national professional qualifications (NPQs) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
See the NPQ funding tab to find out more.
Further information regarding NPQ costs will be provided by the Hub in due course.
Why do an NPQ?
NPQs are the most widely recognised professional development qualifications in the education sector for current and aspiring leaders. Accredited by the DfE, NPQs equip teachers with the expertise to lead sustainable improvement across their schools. They will support teachers and leaders to develop the skills and knowledge to progress their careers and support their schools.
