GLF Schools was founded in 2012 in order to enable the federation of Glyn School (an academy in 2011) and Danetree Junior School. Together, we began our journey to become a MAT of more than 1000 talented staff working with over 10,000 children in 40 schools across 5 regions in southern England.

Leadership Apprenticeship with NPQ - NEW for 2024/25

Best Practice Network, Leadership Apprenticeship with NPQ

BPN logo

We are working in partnership with Best Practice Network to offer schools a funded route to access the National Professional Qualifications in School Leadership.

With scholarship funded places for this Autumn’s intake no longer available, to ensure your staff continue to access these essential qualifications, Best Practice Network has developed the ‘Leaders Apprenticeship' as a dual award with the relevant NPQ award in addition.

Funded through the Apprenticeship Levy, these programmes are designed for aspiring or recently appointed leaders and headteachers. Click on the description for more details:

This dual award combines the NPQ programmes with an Apprenticeship standard. The result is an award that focusses on the knowledge, skills and behaviours required to lead effectively within schools that is funded by way of your schools’ apprenticeship levy contribution.

As this is an apprenticeship and an NPQ the requirement, commitment, assessment are different to the normal NPQ programme and potential participants should ensure that they understand this before signing up for the course.

Further information on these apprenticeships can be found here: https://www.bestpracticenet.co.uk/leader-apprenticeship-NPQ

 

  • If you are a West Sussex school interested in an apprenticeship, you must also make contact with the West Sussex Apprenticeship team on apprenticeships@westsussex.gov.uk as they will be releasing the levy funding. For more information about the programme you can also contact GLF TSHs West Sussex NPQ lead: caroline.carroll@millais.org

 

 

  • If you are part of another MAT please consult your CPD Lead of Head Teacher to discuss accessing the levy pot.
