NPQ programme reviews

“I took on the NPQEL to further develop my authentic leadership and gain the expertise needed to grow. I’m proud to continually develop myself and keep improving so I can make a positive difference to our pupils, students, staff, and the communities I serve. I'd highly recommend it to any leader ready to take their impact to the next level.”

“The NPQH was a journey full of thought-provoking discussions and strategic reflection. It’s been a genuine privilege to learn alongside such passionate, curious, and committed school leaders. I’ve come away with fresh perspective, new tools, and a clearer sense of what it means to lead with purpose and integrity.”

“The NPQLBC programme has formed the bedrock of the culture at our school. I learnt that culture should be interwoven in everything that you do: it determines the behaviour of every colleague and child in the school, and it doesn't exclude any members of staff”

"With the Leading Literacy NPQ, you've got depth within the course content. It gives you more confidence in what you're doing as a leader, because you really look into the evidence and research.”

“Because the NPQLTD content was really engaging and relevant to school improvement, we applied what we were learning as we went along. I think everything worked and definitely having that learning every two weeks, as opposed to big chunks of learning, was beneficial."

“Investing in myself through Ambition Institute has been one of the most valuable steps in my journey – not just as a teacher, but as a leader and as a person. The programme has deepened my understanding of what truly makes a difference in school leadership, helped me reflect on my own practice, and equipped me to lead with clarity and purpose. If you’re considering an NPQ, I wholeheartedly recommend it. Growth doesn’t happen by chance — it happens by choice.”

“The NPQs recognise that teachers are real people with real lives and real commitments. In this, they empower you to gain knowledge quickly and put it into practice quickly, which I’ve found really useful."

“My NPQ has helped me engage with accurate and relevant research that is context specific, prudent to what I need, and rigorous enough that I can trust it to inform school-wide, impactful change.”
