NPQ Overview
Balcarras & Odyssey Teaching School Hubs are delighted to work in collaboration with UCL to provide National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) within the Gloucestershire region and surrounding areas. These events will be held at either Balcarras School or Pate's Grammar School in Cheltenham.
The DfE will provide full scholarship funding* for any teacher undertaking NPQs. This means that you and your school could now be eligible for full funding.
*For full information about the eligibility of scholarship funding, please check this Department for Education web page.
What to do next ...
When registering with DfE please ensure that UCL is selected as the 'Provider'. This will ensure that applications are processed and Balcarras will then be informed of each application.
When applying you will need your TRN, School URN and the name(s) you used when you registered with the TRA.
