The DfE have now confirmed funding for NPQ Cohort 9, which will begin in November 2025. This will be the only Cohort next academic year (there will be no Spring Cohort in 2026). 

We work in partnership with Lead Provider National Society for Education - Church of England (NSE). As with previous cohorts, it is likely that there will be a restricted number of places, and that scholarship funding allocation will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

The formal DfE registration will open in September. 

In the interim, we would invite you to make an Early Bird reservation to maximise your chances of securing one of these funded places. 

(The NSE will contact all those on the Early Bird list to prompt them to complete the DfE registration form, and then the full NSE application as per the usual process).

For details on scholarship funding please see our Funding page.

We will continue to update our website as we receive further information from the DfE.  If you have any questions, please get in touch with Laura Candlin, NPQ Lead - npq@redhillhub.org.uk
