(996kb, 7 pages).
NCSL has proposed that Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) admit participants to Master’s programmes in School Leadership and Management with 33 per cent credit (60 points at M level), under their accreditation of prior learning (APL) arrangements, provided that participants hold an NPQH certificate.
Individual universities will have particular requirements before the 33 per cent credit is awarded. The College has now set up a Universities Partnership Group of HEIs with nationally recognised school leadership centres. This partnership group comprises the following universities: Bath, Cambridge, Hull, Leicester, Lincoln, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Open University, Sheffield and Warwick.
All of these universities, except Cambridge and the Open University, have indicated that they have arrangements in place to allow NPQH candidates 33 per cent credit towards a Master’s degree in School Leadership/Management/School Effectiveness. In addition, the following universities offer the same facility:
As part of the partnership arrangements described above, NCSL will offer NPQH applicants who hold Master’s degrees in School Leadership and Management from the partner universities the opportunity to use their prior learning in their application.
However, since NPQH eligibility is subject to agreed national procedures, including moderation, these applicants must also be able to demonstrate achievements and expertise against the key areas of the National Standards for Headteachers
