We are pleased to share that the DfE have now approved registration for Autumn 2025 NPQs.

We are now inviting schools to register & apply for NPQs this Autumn now – so you’re the first in-line as and when the DfE announce the funding arrangements for 25/26.

What’s New for Autumn 2025?

Subject to DfE confirmation, the next NPQ cohort is expected to see:

• a move to a single intake per academic year
• a provisional start date of early November 2025.
