We're delighted to announce that applications open today for the autumn 2025 cohort of NPQs.

The Julian TSH is accepting applications for the following qualifications:

• NPQ in Early Years Leadership (NPQEYL)
• NPQ in Headship (NPQH)
• NPQ for SENCOs
• NPQ in Senior Leadership (NPQSL)
• NPQ in Leading Behaviour and Culture (NPQLBC)
• NPQ in Leading Literacy (NPQLL)
• NPQ in Leading Teaching (NPQLT).

If we do not receive sufficient applications for a viable cohort in any of the above qualifications, we reserve the right to close applications and will not run the cohort.

How to apply

• You will need to complete your application via Ambition Institute – find out how, here.
• You will also need to register with the DfE's online service, here.

We recommend completing these steps at the same time to avoid a delay in us receiving your application.

You can read about funding for this cohort here; remember that funded places are limited, so apply now to avoid disappointment.

While in previous years there have been two NPQ cohorts – autumn and spring – it is expected that there will be only one cohort this year, so don't delay.
