National Professional Qualifications (NPQ's)

The NPQ course offer and the application forms can be found on the LSSW website www.leadingschoolssouthwest.org.uk and also on www.onecornwall.co.uk

As you might be aware in October the DfE announced that they will now be fully funding all NPQs. We would greatly encourage you access the scholarship funding whilst it remains available.

We have been experiencing a really high level of interest in the NPQ qualifications across Cornwall from the outset. In fact, we are exceptionally pleased about the number of colleagues wishing to pursue the leadership development with us, LSSW and Teach First. Currently we have over 375 colleagues across four Teaching School Hub areas signed up and we expect the volume of applications to continue for the 1b cohort too. 

We would not wish your organisation to miss this valuable opportunity which will undoubtedly make a positive difference to your schools, staff and student outcomes. Please see the details below.

DfE announcement 12.10.21

All teachers and leaders employed in state-funded schools and state-funded organisations that offer 16 to 19 places in England can now access a fully funded NPQ from Autumn 2021, to support teachers and pupils following the disruption to learning faced as a result of COVID-19.
