NPQ for Senior Leadership

The NPQ for Senior Leadership is designed for teachers and leaders who hold, or aspire to hold, whole-school leadership responsibilities.

NPQs at the National Institute of Teaching are school-led: our organisation was founded by four leading multi-academy trusts, and our programmes are designed and delivered with a focus on the realities of schools. Because teachers’ time is precious, our programmes are respectful of your time, and designed to have immediate impact on the pupils and colleagues in your school, as well as the colleagues and children you will work with in the future.

Overview

Senior leaders support teachers to give pupils the best possible experience in schools. Through their strategic and operational leadership, they create the conditions for colleagues and pupils to flourish.

Through our NPQSL, you will develop your domain knowledge of all aspects of schools and school leadership, as well as spending time applying that knowledge to your context as well as common leadership challenges, so you will be better prepared to meet the demands of your future career pathway, and to create the conditions for pupils to thrive.
