Benefits

The National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) allows trainee headteachers to create their own flexible personalised development pathways, building on individual development needs. This will ensure that immediately on graduation, individuals are competent and confident to apply for headship.

The provision allows trainee heads to:

• further understand their individual strengths and areas for development
• receive one-to-one support from a verified NPQH coach
• access a range of NCSL leadership and management materials
• engage in peer learning with other aspiring headteachers
• attend relevant conferences, seminars and master classes
• experience leadership in a different context through a 5-20 day personalised placement
• access NCSL's online communities

If you are a headteacher or governor, you can read more about the benefits for schools on the information for headteachers and governors page.
