Announcing our partnership with Teach First

We are pleased to announce that, working in partnership with Teach First, we will be delivering the new NPQ SENCO.

NPQs are the most widely recognised qualifications in the education sector for current and aspiring leaders. This new NPQ for SENCOs will be the mandatory qualification for anyone who wishes to qualify and work as a SENCO in state schools, from 1 September 2024.

Having trained over thousands of SENCOs, being able to offer the new NPQ is an exciting next step in our mission to provide education professionals with high quality training that allows them to support the needs of students in their school or setting.

We have chosen to partner with Teach First as our values of making education accessible for all and developing high quality teachers align. Teach First have an established track record in leadership development, and have been an accredited NPQ provider for several years with excellent feedback from participants.

We are involved in the curriculum design process and our team of course facilitators support the programme delivery.

Our NPQ SENCO course offers a blended learning approach, comprising flexible online learning, engaging seminars and thought-provoking in-person conferences, all led by experienced facilitators who have worked within the sector and our team of Educational Psychologists. You can look forward to learning at your own pace and from anywhere, while collaborating and sharing best practice with a network of SENCOs and SEND experts.

We are now accepting applications. The deadline for the first cohort is 17 September 2024, with the course starting in October 2024. We advise applicants to apply as soon as possible in order to guarantee a space.
