Initial Registration Open for Autumn 2026 NPQs

We are pleased to announce that expressions of interest for Autumn 2026 National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) are now open.

This early expression of interest enables schools and colleagues to plan ahead in readiness for formal applications later in the summer term, once DfE guidance is confirmed.

We will once again be working in partnership with the Ambition Institute as our lead provider, delivering the full suite of specialist and leadership NPQs. These programmes are designed to support professional development at every stage, strengthening leadership, teaching practice, and whole-school improvement.

Registering an expression of interest ensures you:

  • Receive timely updates on application windows and eligibility
  • Are prepared to apply once DfE guidance is released
  • Can plan professional development strategically for the 2026–27 academic year

Further details will be shared as soon as national guidance is confirmed by the DfE.
