NPQH Successful Application Example

NPQH & NPQ Submission Support Resource plus Manual for Supporting Teachers Apply for the NPQH

Whether you are completing the NPQH or another NPQ, this resource is designed to help you understand how to turn your practical leadership experience into a structured, well-evidenced NPQ submission.

The original submission on which this resource is based received a strong pass. It therefore provides a useful example of what a successful response can look like and how practical school leadership experience can be developed into an effective written submission.

I have removed some details but the majority of the submission remains. My project focus was on INCREASING PARENTAL ENGAGEMENT.

A fully developed NPQH case-study submission based on a successful example, accompanied by commentary explaining how the response is structured and developed.

Use the resource to develop your own ideas, structure your response and strengthen your understanding of what is expected.

Is it based on the current assessment approach?

The resource has been designed around the relevant NPQ leadership standards and assessment expectations. Candidates should always check the current guidance and assessment materials provided by their NPQ provider before submitting any work, as requirements can change.

This is a support and learning resource, not a submission to be reproduced.

Your NPQ assessment should be your own work and should demonstrate your own professional knowledge, leadership thinking and application to your specific context.

Use the exemplar to learn from the structure, analyse the approach and develop your own response.

The aim is not to give you an answer to submit — it is to help you become more confident in producing your own.

The Support Manual is really comprehensive and really helped me to complete my application - lots to read and digest!
