National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) are trusted, transferable qualifications accredited by the DfE. They are designed to help teachers hone and develop the skills they already have, helping them become a more effective leader inside and outside the classroom and to facilitate excellence across a range of contexts. We are committed to ensuring that NPQs continue to offer the best possible support to teachers and leaders wanting to expand their knowledge and skills.
We are excited to be delivering the new reformed suite of NPQs from November 2021. The three existing NPQs in Senior Leadership, Headship and Executive Leadership have been refreshed, ensuring that they are underpinned by the latest evidence of what works in schools to deliver the highest quality of education of young people. The current middle leader NPQ has been replaced with three new specialist NPQs: Leading Teacher Development, Leading Teaching and Leading Behaviour and Culture.
