The latest group of aspiring headteachers began their journey to headship this term – undertaking the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH).
For this group, their NPQH journey will be quite different from those that have gone before. The NPQH has undergone a transformation in the programme’s design and in how it’s delivered. It is now the first in a suite of qualifications offered by the National College to support school leaders at every stage of their career. They form part of our modular curriculum.
Based on five levels – from leading a team (Level 1) to leading beyond an organisation (Level 5) – the curriculum offers a range of leadership topics that can be studied on their own or combined to achieve a national qualification. Alongside NPQH, new qualifications for middle and senior leaders are available – the National Professional Qualification for Middle Leadership or for Senior Leadership. These replace existing programmes such as Leadership Pathways, the Middle Leadership Development Programme and Tomorrow’s Heads.
