Programme Summary
At the Great School Trust, we not only offer National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) but also provide opportunities for our staff to become facilitators of these programmes, thereby enhancing leadership prospects for those aspiring to future leadership roles.
Our suite of NPQs are prestigious professional qualifications widely recognised within the education sector. They are designed to support the professional development of teachers and school leaders at all levels and across all phases. These qualifications are provided in partnership with the National Institute of Teaching (NIOT), ensuring high-quality training and development.
By becoming facilitators of NPQs, our staff can deepen their own expertise, contribute to the growth of their peers, and play a vital role in the leadership development within the trust. This dual opportunity not only enriches individual career paths but also strengthens the collective leadership capacity of our schools.
- National Professional Qualification for Leading Behaviour and Culture (NPQLBC) – for teachers who have, or are aspiring to have, responsibilities for leading behaviour and/or supporting pupil wellbeing in their school.
- National Professional Qualification for Leading Teaching (NPQLT) – for teachers who have, or are aspiring to have, responsibilities for leading teaching in a subject, year group, key stage or phase.
- National Professional Qualification for Leading Literacy (NPQLL) – Teachers who have, or aspire to have, responsibilities for leading literacy across a school, year group, key stage or phase.
- National Professional Qualification for Leading Teacher Development (NPQLTD) – for teachers who have, or are aspiring to have, responsibilities for leading the development of other teachers in their school. They may have responsibilities for the development of all teachers across a school or specifically trainees or teachers who are early in their careers.
There are two cohorts November and February. All of our NPQ programmes will be delivered at King’s Leadership Academy Liverpool.
