DfE: NPQ review: call for insights and evidence

11 December 2025

The department has today launched a call for insights and evidence exercise as part of the process to formally review the NPQ suite.

In summary:

Building on the first call for evidence, we are welcoming insights or opinions on the full suite of NPQs and research evidence which may inform updates to the evidence-base underpinning the following seven NPQ frameworks:

• NPQ Leading teacher development (NPQLTD)
• NPQ Leading teaching (NPQLT)Â
• NPQ Leading behaviour and culture (NPQLBC)
• NPQ Leading literary (NPQLL)
• NPQ Leading primary maths (NPQLPM)
• NPQ Early years leadership (NPQEYL)
• NPQ Special educational needs co-ordinator (NPQSENCO)

The call for insights and evidence survey opened on 10 December and will close on 20 February. This exercise is the opportunity to share your views.
