NEW: Level 3 Specialist NPQ Apprenticeship
Best Practice Network are offering NEW Specialist NPQ Apprenticeship places for an April start, plus another chance to join an SL or NPQH Apprenticeship group, again for an April 26 start.
We hope these will appeal to those schools who are not usually eligible for funded places and who could benefit in future from this free middle leader CPD.
The Level 3 Specialist NPQ Apprenticeships are for:
- Leading Teaching
- Leading Behaviour & Culture
- Leading Teacher Development
They are all 12-month programmes covering the practical knowledge, skills and behaviours of effective team leadership with the pedagogical research of each of the NPQ specialisms.
ACADEMIES
If you are an academy, you are able to apply for all these apprenticeships now. The application deadlines for an April start are:
- Early Bird Deadline: Sunday 1st March
- Final Deadline: Sunday 29th March

MAINTAINED SCHOOLS
You are only able to apply for the SL Apprenticeship at the moment as there is currently no contract in place between WSCC & BPN for the other apprenticeships. We are working with the LA to get this in place for the Autumn cohort.
**If you think you would be interested in these NPQ apprenticeships in the future, please compete the brief form below to express interest without any commitment to proceed. We urgently need evidence of need to present to WSCC so that a procurement process can begin.
