Outstanding Leaders Partnership have been a school-led NPQ provider since 2012 and have supported over 20,000 NPQ participants over the last 3 years.  

As part of the government’s long-term education recovery plan, it was announced in May 2022 that DfE (Department for Education) funded NPQ training scholarships for teachers and leaders employed in state-funded schools, as well as those employed in state-funded organisations in England that offer education to 16–19-year-olds, have been extended for the next two years. This means that from Autumn 2022 participants from organisations eligible to access scholarships, will be supported to undertake NPQs in 22/23 and 23/24.
