NPQs with CEFEL

As the traded company to London Diocesan Board for Schools, we would like to draw your attention to the Church of England Foundation for Educational Leadership (CEFEL) NPQ programmes.

I particularly liked the approach and manner of delivery by the facilitators. No one was put on the spot or pressured to give a response. As a result, this created a climate in which all participants felt comfortable sharing.

London Diocesan Board for Schools (LDBS) serves 154 schools and 55,000 pupils across 18 thriving, diverse and vibrant London Authorities in London. Our vision is for schools to provide a transformational education where all children and adults flourish in the widest sense. For 20 years, we have provided high-quality successful leadership programmes to church and community schools and are very excited to be serving the common good by delivering the CEFEL NPQs to schools of all kinds in London. This provision is unique in that coaching sessions are included in all CEFEL NPQs.

NPQ courses are partially funded for Autumn 2025 and there are 10,000 fully funded NPQ places available to NPQ Delivery Partners across England. Funded places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, based on when a participant completes the initial “early-bird” application form. Fully funded places are available for schools serving the most disadvantaged communities (the 50% of schools with the highest proportion of students who attract Pupil Premium funding). Schools which are not eligible are welcome to pay for courses. With limited numbers of fully funded places available for the NPQ-H (Headship), NPQ-SENCo (SEND Co-ordinators) and NPQ-SL (Senior Leadership) for November 2025, we urge you to apply here as soon as possible ›
