The DfE have recently announced funding arrangements for NPQ scholarship funding for September 2024. Funding will target  teachers and leaders who work in the most challenging schools or educational settings, serving more disadvantaged communities. 

Scholarship funding to cover the full NPQ course cost will be available to teachers and leaders from: 

• the 50% of schools with the highest proportion of students who attract pupil premium funding 
• 16 to 19 educational settings identified as having high disadvantage 

For the early years leadership NPQ, highly disadvantaged early years settings will also be eligible.    

Scholarships will continue to be available to all teachers and leaders from publicly funded schools and 16 to 19 educational organisations for the following NPQs: 

• NPQLPM- Leading Primary Maths  
• NPQ SENCo- Leading Special Educational Needs  
• NPQH- Headship  

For the early headship coaching offer, funding to cover the course fees will be available if you are in your first 5 years of headship in England in a state-funded school or state-funded 16 to 19 organisation.

We will be in touch with further updates when recruitment windows open later this half-term.

Exceed Teaching School Hub are excited to announce the relaunch of Bradford for Teaching, a new initiative focused on promoting the benefits of engaging with ITT in our city. Our mission is clear: we want to show schools why it's important to work with new teachers and how they can benefit.

We aim to make Bradford the top choice for people who want to become teachers or grow their teaching careers. We have three main goals: to make Bradford known for excellent teacher training and job opportunities, to attract and keep the very best teachers, and to support school teachers through providing high-quality teacher development opportunities.
