From Autumn 2024, DfE funding will target those teachers and leaders who work in the most challenging schools or educational settings, serving more disadvantaged communities.  

Funding to cover the full NPQ course 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.
• 16 to 19 educational settings identified as having high disadvantage. 

For the Early Years Leadership NPQ, highly disadvantaged early years settings will also be eligible.    

Funding will continue 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
