" A clear and concise delivery from all presenters who were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Made me think about my role in school and how I can develop further. I felt incredibly inspired"

Scholarship funding for spring 2025 

You may be able to get your NPQ  course fees paid for by the Department for Education (DfE). This is called scholarship funding.

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
