Poor literacy skills are a significant barrier for young people in progressing in all aspects of their education. Become an expert in literacy and leadership and enable young people to benefit from the curriculum to improve their chances of success.
This new, fully funded NPQ will help you learn the essential knowledge and skills to successfully lead high quality, literacy development and teaching in your school.
Our approach uses the latest research to help you put your learning into practice. You’ll train alongside other literacy leaders with similar responsibilities.
This is a new National Professional Qualification (NPQ) developed by the Department for Education (DfE). Each of the new NPQs share the same common language and framework to help drive improvement across schools and other educational settings.
With no project work and minimal time out of school, this NPQ is designed to fit around your busy timetable.

Become a true champion of literacy. You’ll develop a thorough understanding of how you can improve literacy in your subject, phase and school, using the latest evidence-based research.
You’ll have the opportunity to connect with other literacy leaders, sharing your experiences and building a strong support network.
This programme is designed to fit with your busy teaching role and can be completed in bite-size chunks around your existing schedule.
The programme allows you to apply theory to your school context.
By expertly championing literacy leadership in your school, you can make sure that every young person has the literacy skills to succeed across all curriculum areas.
Participants will work on applying learning and improving literacy across your school and different subject areas – and support colleagues to do this too.
The new NPQs are all aligned. Your literacy leaders will benefit from an evidence-based framework with a common language which they can pass on to their colleagues.
This programme gives literacy leaders a comprehensive and accessible evidence base. This allows them to bridge the gap between what they know and how to apply it effectively in your school, to improve literacy and outcomes for pupils.
By aligning staff professional development with wider school improvement priorities, you can make sure all pupils have access to high quality literacy support in their education.
This programme follows the Department for Education’s National Professional Qualification: Leading Literacy Framework.

There is no project work required for this NPQ.
The assessment window starts at the end of the 12-month programme and runs for three months. During this time, you’ll be given an eight-day window to sit an ‘open book’ style assessment in which you respond to a short case study.
We will offer a webinar and live clinic in advance of the assessment window to support you.
You need to complete the programme to qualify for NPQ accreditation.
All teachers and leaders employed in state-funded schools, as well as those employed in state-funded organisations that offer 16 to 19 places in England can access a fully-funded NPQ. This applies to all Specialist and Leadership NPQs.
In some cases, staff without a Teaching Reference Number (TRN) can also qualify for a fully-funded NPQ (e.g. a non-teaching pastoral colleague). Contact us and we will support you through the steps required to register and access this funding.
Access to funding remains conditional on successful validation of participants’ registration information against Teaching Regulation Agency records, so you must ensure that the information supplied to your NPQ provider matches your teacher record.
If you are not eligible for scholarship funding, you can still undertake an NPQ and should contact us directly to discuss your options.
To apply, you must be leading, or aspiring to lead, literacy in any phase of education. For example, you might be a head of literacy or literacy coordinator at your school or multi-academy trust.
