Spotlight on... NPQ funding for spring
DfE have this week confirmed:
NPQs funded for all participants:
Scholarships will continue to be available to teachers and leaders from publicly funded schools and 16 to 19 educational organisations for the following NPQs:
- Leading primary mathematics (NPQLPM)
- Special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCO) (NPQ SENCO)
- Headship (NPQH)
NPQs funded for certain participants only:
From spring 2025, scholarship funding to cover the full NPQ course cost will be available to teachers and leaders from:
- Schools: the top 50% of state-funded schools in England that have the highest proportion of students attracting pupil premium, as set out in the eligibility lists
- 16–19 settings: the top 50% of state funded settings in England that have the highest proportion of students eligible for disadvantage funding
For the early years leadership NPQ, highly disadvantaged early years settings will also be eligible.
Once again, the total number of funded NPQ places available nationally will be capped. Eligibility for funding does not guarantee a place on a funded NPQ course. This includes the NPQ SENCO, NPQH, and NPQLPM.
Spring 2025 cohorts will commence in April. We anticipate that applications will open in February.
The Julian TSH will be offering some NPQs but not necessarily all. To keep up to date on our offer, please complete this expression of interest form.
