The NPQLTD provides participants with the essential knowledge, skills and concepts that underpin successful leadership, helping them cultivate across the school a culture of high expectations and associated behaviour.

It will also enable them to create a positive, predictable and safe environment for all pupils while assisting those who need more intensive support to make behavioural changes.

The NPQLTD consists of individual coaching, online briefings, online modules and a final assessment. Altogether, there are approximately 82 hours of guided learning.

The NPQLT will show you how to better support colleagues in planning effective lessons and how you can help them achieve high quality, reliable and more effective assessments without creating unnecessary workload.

There probably isn’t an educational institution in the world whose success can’t be linked to its leadership. But such success is often less a question of having someone take charge than of giving individuals the chance to take charge. Which is why it’s important to provide your budding leaders with the opportunity to explore and develop their own leadership potential through a tailored professional programme.Leading the Charge incubates leadership qualities by helping individuals recognise their own strengths and prompting leaders, in turn, to draw out the strengths of others. The programme includes topics such as: the importance of good leadership in schools, the art of emotional intelligence, building dynamic teams, effective line management, implementing and managing change, preparing and dealing effectively with Ofsted and the new Common Inspection Framework 2015.

This unique programme helps turn teachers into leaders by helping them to discover their talents and by providing a transformative pathway that incrementally builds on successes and prepares participants for the challenges that lie ahead.

Just like athletes, teachers are primed to put newly learned skills to good use — if they are brought into play through coaching. The reason is the development of skill by itself doesn’t ensure transfer. Theoretical study, observations of experts in action and practice in protected conditions help. But add effective coaching, with the opportunity for feedback and teachers can begin to transfer new skills into their active repertoire.

Using empirical research that shows the positive effect that coaching can have on team morale, development and performance, this session highlights the differences between coaching and mentoring, offers practical techniques on how coaching can be applied schoolwide and uses scenarios to demonstrate how teaching and learning can be improved through coaching.

Are you ready for your next school inspection? Being equipped to demonstrate effective school systems and outline the evaluative measures taken to facilitate change is an essential part of a school leaders’ preparation for any inspection. Head teachers and their senior teams will be keen to demonstrate how they promote accountability and monitor current practice to improve school standards on a continuous basis.

Our Be Inspection Ready programme helps leaders plan positively for inspection, though you’ll find it embraces school improvement issues that extend far beyond the bounds of the immediate brief. As part of our collaboration, we will review and evaluate your school policies and examine the procedures you have in place to meet inspectors’ recommendations. We’ll also give up-to-date inspection training to staff — including all senior and middle leaders — and offer one-on-one support with practical solution-focused results.

Be Inspection Ready can include: writing, auditing and reviewing school improvement plans, self-evaluation practices and bystander observations. It can assist with inspection interview preparation and feedback on whole school policies and strategies to track, monitor and improve teaching, learning and the achievement of all learners. We’ll tailor it to help and help you and your staff face inspections with confidence.
