Apply now for October 2022
We are currently inviting expressions of interest for our next cohort of NPQs, which are due to start in October 2022.
The reformed National Professional Qualifications came into effect in September 2021. They have been developed in consultation with an expert advisory group from across the education system. The changes to NPQs build on the evidence and expert advice already established in the new core content framework for Initial Teacher Training, and the Early Career Framework (ECF). The content frameworks have been used as the basis for delivering each course and set out the things that participants should know and be able to do after completing an NPQ. They reflect the Teachers’ standards and Headteachers’ standards to ensure coherency with the requirements already used by the teaching profession.
NPQs available with One Cumbria for October 2022:
- Specialist NPQ in Leading Teaching
- Specialist NPQ in Leading Behaviour and Culture
- Specialist NPQ in Leading Teacher Development*
- Specialist NPQ in Leading Literacy (New for 2022)
- National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership (NPQSL)
- National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH)
- National Professional Qualification for Executive Leadership (NPQEL)
- National Professional Qualification for Early Years Leadership (New for 2022)
* This NPQ can be delivered for all our ITT and ECT mentors but more than that our vision is to have at least one person in every school or every cluster of small schools with this NPQ. They will also be the vanguard of One Cumbria, sharing all the latest information on professional development, opportunities for training and jobs.
