NPQH - Headship

National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) – for school leaders who are, or are aspiring to be, a headteacher or head of school with responsibility for leading a school.  Also, if you are a new Headteacher, please see our section on The Early Headship Coaching Offer

The application window is currently closed. The DfE confirmed that there is only one cohort for the 2025/26 academic year.  Once we have information for the next academic year we will update the NPQ pages.  In the meantime if you or a member of staff is interested, please complete this short google form to register your interest and we will contact you directly once we have further information from the DfE.
