The Department for Education (DfE) has announced the eligibility for National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) funding for the upcoming October 2024 cohort. Despite changes in scholarship funding, the confirmation of continued funding for NPQs is welcomed as excellent news by LLSE and the education community.
Leadership Learning Securing Excellence (LLSE) eagerly anticipates welcoming new cohorts of participants from schools across England and internationally this Autumn. The opportunity for educators to enhance their teaching and leadership skills on LLSE’s well designed NPQ programmes is essential for the advancement of high-quality teaching and leadership.
“We are delighted to hear that the DfE has reaffirmed its commitment to funding NPQs for the October 2024 cohort and we respect the prioritisation given to schools that serve the most deprived communities. We know our programmes make a difference and we look forward to continuing to work with our partners to deliver programmes which impact so positively on teachers and leaders and the pupils in their classes and schools. NPQ programmes play a vital role in supporting teachers and leaders to lead effectively in a rapidly evolving landscape and we hope that the continuation of funding for October 2024 cohorts represents a foundation on which to build for future cohorts”. Kate Wilson, Executive Director, LLSE
LLSE’s NPQs are known for their high level of contextualisation which makes the learning meaningful and relevant to a wide range of participants and different groups of schools. Our participants achieve the highest success rates in summative assessment nationally and report high levels of satisfaction and impact on their professional roles, career progression and retention.
“I have recently accepted my first job as Head of School starting April, I have been completing an Interim Head of School role alongside the NPQH and have used the theory and teachings to support me.” – satisfied NPQH participant.
LLSE looks forward to collaborating with our current and new delivery partners to facilitate a successful and enriching experience for everyone joining the next cohort. Aspiring leaders are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to enhance their leadership skills and drive positive change in their schools.
