PARTNERSHIP
The Leading Learning Partnership
HTI is lead licensee for the Leading Learning Partnership (one of just 33 organisations
nationally) which has been licensed to deliver the first three levels of the National
College’s Leadership Curriculum.
The Leading Learning Partnership is one of four National College licensees awarded in the West Midlands.
The National College commended HTI for “demonstrating the commitment, credibility, capability and capacity to
deliver great leadership development”.
HTI is already working with Teaching School Alliances in the West Midlands – to support the delivery of high quality,
affordable and flexible professional development.
“We’re 100% behind the government’s drive towards a ‘by schools, for schools’ self-improving system,” says HTI
executive president Anne Evans. “These are groundbreaking times for education and we’re delighted to be playing
a continuing role in system transformation”.
The new Leadership Curriculum is designed to give school leaders across five career stages the freedom and
flexibility to choose the professional development most relevant to them. They can study at their own pace
through a blend of workplace, face-to-face, facilitated, self-study and online learning approaches.

NPQSL: Leading beyond a team within an organisation
The National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership (NPQSL) is a new
qualification that provides national recognition of your leadership development and
professional achievement as a senior leader.
NPQSL: starting in September 2013
This qualification has a flexible, modular structure that combines essential modules with the freedom to specialise
or develop your own professional areas of interest through the choice of elective modules. You may for example,
want to learn about effective whole school management or develop your skills in building partnerships.
NPQSL is assessed and awarded by the National College, with assessment focusing on tasks linked to school
improvement activities undertaken in the workplace.
Who can apply
Senior leaders with cross-school responsibilities, including experienced middle leaders, deputy heads, special
educational needs co-ordinators (SENCOs) and advanced skills teachers, and other senior staff looking for further
professional development but not aspiring to headship at this stage in their career.
What’s involved
To achieve the qualification, you’ll need to complete two essential modules and two elective modules, with a focus
on driving successful team performance and improving classroom practice.
Each module requires up to 50 hours of blended learning. This typically consists of workplace learning (about
20 hours) and practice activities, 4 face-to-face days at a local venue, including peer and facilitated learning and
reading, reflection, online learning and a final assessment.
