Dear Colleagues
We trust you are all well as we enter the final stretch of the academic year, which is notoriously the busiest! However, please do take time to read important updates from the Exceed TSHub Team regarding ECT and NPQ registrations.
NPQ Applications:
As previously communicated, unfortunately, the number of funded NPQ places we have been allocated is limited and therefore unlikely to meet local demand. This is completely beyond our control and highly disappointing for many providers nationally.
Additionally, due to purdah, we have been restricted from engaging in any recruitment activity and as yet are unable to approve NPQ applications. We are expecting to get the go ahead from the DfE and Ambition early next week. In anticipation of this, for transparency, applications will be approved and prioritised based on the following criteria:
- An even distribution to schools that meet the Pupil Premium 50th percentile
- For NPQ SENCo - current SEND Leaders that don’t hold a relevant qualification
Please note that if an application is approved via the Ambition Portal, this does not secure a place. Confirmation is only approved when applicants have successfully registered for DfE funding following the link here
We therefore urge you to do this as soon as possible to provide you with the best chance of securing a place.
ECF Updates:
As always, for ongoing support or queries, please don't hesitate to contact the team via email @
