What are the NPQEL programme benefits?

Gain a prestigious qualification to take your career to the next level.

Get the tools you need to establish and sustain your trust’s strategic direction and culture. 

Develop specialist expertise in running a multi-school organisation

Learn how to develop processes and systems that enable and encourage collaboration between staff within and across your schools. You’ll gain practical skills in effectively managing resources and establishing sustainable policies.

Connect with and learn from other executive leaders in the field  

Build and expand your network across the country. Gain valuable fresh perspectives from other leaders in similar roles. 

I highly recommend it. Much of what we’re covering is familiar after 9 years of headship but lots of little gems, fresh perspectives, affirmation, reassurance etc.  I’m impressed with approach/values/philosophy of Teach First as chosen deliverer too. ”
