The Welsh Government (WG) action plan for 2017-2021 Education in Wales: Our national mission states our commitment to strong leadership and professional learning to help deliver on the high expectations we all share for our learners, schools and education system. Inspirational leaders using reputable pedagogic research and effective collaboration across the entire system to support the development of a world class curriculum are critical if we are to raise standards for all in Wales.
The Welsh Government is therefore inviting tenders from suitably experienced and qualified providers to work in partnership with WG to administer deliver and revise, the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) programme for aspiring headteachers in Wales. Providers will need to be equipped and able to start delivering the qualification from July 2018. We welcome applications from individual providers or those working in partnership to deliver and support the continual development of the qualification across Wales.
The National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) remains a statutory requirement in Wales therefore anyone seeking to become a headteacher in Wales must have achieved the NPQH as evidence that they have met the required standard.
A revised NPQH is needed to support the new Professional Standards for Teaching and Leadership for all teachers and leaders from September 2018. These standards are a key aspect of the action plan to transform the curriculum in Wales and equip Wales with inspirational leaders who can work collaboratively, are committed to raising standards and reducing the attainment gap.
This tender specification is initially for a two year delivery agreement with an option to extend for up to a further two years subject to annual review.
