National Professional Qualifications

We are proud to be offering both specialist and leadership National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) to our schools in Kent. NPQs are a suite of DfE-accredited qualifications for school leaders, designed to support professional development.

We offer three Specialist NPQs for teachers and leaders who want to develop their knowledge and skills in specialist areas of school practice. In addition to this, we offer four Leadership NPQs for teachers and leaders who want to become senior leaders (NPQSL), headteachers (NPQH), executive headteachers (NPQEL) or early years leaders (NPQEYL).

Being partnered with Best Practice Network, we are able to offer a unique approach to NPQ delivery which means participants access individualised training based on areas they have identified as needing improvement. Our cyclical programme structure uses Face-to-Face training, online learning and 1:1 coaching to deliver a comprehensive learning experience that fits around busy teacher timetables.
