Leadership Development 

NPQML  

The Westlands Teaching School Alliance is pleased to be working with Leadership Learning South East (LLSE) to offer the National Professional Qualification for Middle Leadership. 

NPQML is aimed at individuals with responsibility for leading a team, including leaders of key stage, subject, curriculum, heads of department and pastoral leaders. 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). The qualification will support you in becoming a highly effective middle leader, with the skills, confidence and knowledge to drive successful team performance and improved classroom practice across your team. The support of a 'coach' from your school, usually your line manager or Headteacher, is essential to enable you to make the most of the programme.

  • Online Entry Leadership Diagnostic that identifies development areas through feedback from colleagues.
  • Induction Twilight for you and your coach, to fully understand the requirements of the programme and journey to Final Assessment.
