Funded scholarship places are only available to the 50% of schools with the highest proportion of pupil premium funding. If this does not include you or your school, schools can self-fund NPQs. Once all our allocated funded places are gone, we might also be able to offer further places to schools if they can self-fund.
The table below outlines the cost of NPQs for colleagues/schools who wish to self-fund.
