NPQ in Executive Leadership (NPQEL)

Programme breakdown

The NPQEL is designed for school leaders who are, or aspire to be, an Executive Headteacher or have a CEO role within a school trust with responsibility for leading several schools.

It may also be helpful for executive leaders responsible for other functions within a Trust seeking to broaden their understanding of educational leadership.
