Headteachers: Qualifications
(asked on 16th January 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many people applied for the National Professional Qualification for Headship in the first half of financial year 2014-15.
This question was answered on 21st January 2015
National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) is no longer mandatory. 394 people applied for the NPQH in the first half of the financial year 2014/15.
Evidence from previous NPQH application rounds demonstrates fewer people apply for NPQH in the first round of applications than the second round, as the commencement date for the second round aligns with the start of a new academic year.
