National Professional Qualification in Middle Leadership
NPQML – Leading a team
Those who are, or are aspiring to become a middle leader, with responsibility for leading a team e.g. a key stage leader, a curriculum area leader, a pastoral services leader, a subject leader, a special educational needs co-ordinator (SENCO), or a head of department. This includes those who are, or are aspiring to be a middle leader with cross-school responsibilities e.g. a Specialist Leader of Education (SLE).
This programme is suitable for leaders from nursery, primary, secondary and special schools.
Curriculum Framework
The curriculum framework is built around six content areas and seven leadership behaviours, all of which are common to each level of NPQ, enabling leaders to develop the depth and breadth of knowledge and experience progressively through the levels:
The six content areas set out what a leader should know or be able to do:
| · Managing Resources and Risks | · Teaching and Curriculum Excellence |
| · Strategy and Improvement | · Leading with Impact |
| · Working in Partnership | · Increasing Capability |
The seven leadership behaviours focus on how the best leaders operate:
| · Commitment | · Collaboration | · Resilience |
| · Personal Drive | · Awareness | · Respect |
| · Integrity |
