National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH)
NPQH gives participants all of the essential knowledge, skills and concepts that underpin successful headship. Participants will cover ‘learn that’ and ‘learn how to’ statements in ten areas:
1 – School Culture
2 – Teaching
3 – Curriculum and Assessment
4 – Behaviour
5 – Additional and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
6 – Professional Development
7 – Organisational Management
8 – Implementation
9 – Working in Partnership
10 – Governance and Accountability
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
The fully blended learning approach combined with performance coaching and enrichment activities make this an exciting and valuable opportunity for current and aspiring headteachers.
The NPQH qualification is aligned to Masters credits and can act as a springboard on to Liverpool Hope University’s MA in Leading in Education or the MBA in Educational Leadership.
