NPQLT is for teachers who have, or are aspiring to have, responsibilities for leading teaching in a subject, year group, key stage or phase.
The aim of the NPQLT is to provide the participant with expertise and approaches that, through working with their colleagues, enable their school to keep improving, and contribute to a culture in which staff and pupils are all able to thrive.
Following completion of the NPQLT, participants will have covered the following nine areas:
The NPQLT programme is delivered over a 12 month period with 3 modules. At the end of the taught elements you will undertake a summative assessment.
Below is a breakdown of how the programme is delivered and the time commitment.
Formative assessment takes place throughout the programme, helping you understand the progress you are making, and facilitators to adapt your learning experiences.
Summative assessment takes the form of a 1500-word response to a case study, completed in a single 8-day window at the end of your programme. The assessment will give you the opportunity to demonstrate how you would deploy the knowledge, skills and understanding gained through the NPQ to lead and implement a specific aspect of change.

‘The F2F session was a nice way to develop thinking further with other peers from a different school setting. It was nice to compare what is working well / not so well and reflect on own practice this way. It was also useful to have 2 professionals present to ask questions and learn from their experience. ‘
‘I have been pleased with the format of the learning, I have found everything accessible. I was concerned about finding time to complete this training whilst having a young family but so far I am managing to find the correct work-life balance. ‘
