Welcome

Hello! We made it to half term — well done everyone. And particular congratulations to our Early Career Teachers and their mentors: we can see on StepLab how hard you've been working, and we hope you take a well-earned break over the next week.

Apply now!

We've updated our NPQs webpage with the latest application closing dates — since the announcement that all NPQs will be fully funded for all state schools, things have been moving rather quickly! We're absolutely delighted that we will be running all of our intended autumn cohorts and look forward to kicking off the programmes after half term. Congratulations to our participants on your acceptance onto the programme, and we can't wait to start working with you.
