National Professional Qualifications (NPQs)
NPQs
At Flying High Teaching School Hub we recognise the positive impact that strong leadership can have on a school community, from improving educational outcomes to fostering a positive learning environment for students.
That’s why we’re passionate about supporting leadership development at all levels.
We partner with Teach First to deliver National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire.
Our NPQ programmes are of the highest standard and are designed to help leaders create a clear vision for their school or area of responsibility, and develop practice with their peers.
Our experienced facilitators guide participants through each NPQ module. At the end of the programme, participants complete a national assessment case study.
