In 2021 the Department for Education appointed IOE, Õ¬ÄÐÊÓƵ Faculty of Education and Society as a lead provider of the full suite of National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) to support teachers’ and school leaders’ professional development. Ofsted completed its first full inspection of IOE’s NPQ programmes in June this year.

Inspectors carried out focused reviews on leading behaviour and culture, early years leadership, headship, senior leadership, leading teaching, executive leadership, leading teacher development, and leading literacy.

Ofsted judged that IOE is providing “a professional development experience that goes above and beyond. The relentless focus on bridging the gap between research and practice ensures that all participants...go on a journey of self-discovery".

Over 10,300 teachers and school leaders are participating in or have recently completed one of the 10 current NPQ programmes offered by IOE, which will expand to include the new NPQ for Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators from Autumn 2024. IOE currently works with 26 national and international school partners to deliver the programmes.
