Scholorship Funding for Spring 25
Scholarship funding, 'funded place', is where the DfE pay the fees for the programme. Further information can be found here
Funding for national professional qualifications (NPQs) - GOV.UK
The following ‘priority’ NPQs are fully funded for eligible teachers and leaders from publicly funded schools and 16 to 19 educational organisations, regardless of pupil premium funding criteria for the Spring 25 NPQ intake:
- NPQ Leading Primary Maths (NPQLPM)
- NPQ SENCO (NPQ SENCO)
- NPQ Headship (NPQH)
There is no cost to you or your school to take one of these NPQs if your setting and role and/or experience is eligible for funding.
The following NPQs have targeted scholarship funding for eligible teachers and leaders from:
- schools: the top 50% of state funded schools in England that have the highest proportion of students attracting pupil premium, as set out in the eligibility lists
- 16-19 settings: the top 50% of state funded settings in England that have the highest proportion of students eligible for disadvantage funding
- Highly disadvantaged early years settings
- NPQ Leading Teaching Development (LTD)
When you register for an NPQ the DfE will tell you if you are eligible for funding. If you would like to know beforehand you can contact us and we will be able to confirm this for you. Please be aware that eligibility for scholarship funding does not guarantee a place on a funded NPQ course.
