How we work in partnership for the National Professional Qualifications

Our Delivery Partner

We are proud to deliver a suite of National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) in partnership with Ambition Institute, our provider.

To access any policies relating to the NPQ please visit the Ambition Institute website.

Working across Multi-Academy Trusts

We are also part of a Consortium with Bradford Diocesan Academies Trust and Beckfoot Trust to deliver the NPQ programmes to a high standard and to facilitate networking across our family of schools.

We value the potential of: 

  • professional training to improve the quality of our teaching and leadership and provide environments for our children to thrive and achieve   
  • Continuing Professional Development to support MAT needs and strengthen MAT identity 
  • local networking to disseminate professional knowledge and understanding 
  • collaboration and mutual support to build capacity at all levels of our respective trusts 

We work together by: 

  • respecting each others' mission, values and stages of development 
  • serving our schools and removing barriers to engagement in CPD 
  • promoting diversity and inclusion, and valuing the local context and Bradford's unique characteristics 
  • ensuring that formal organisational structures and processes bring transparency and clarity of roles, finance, and communication 
  • being responsive to the priorities and capacity of our respective trusts 
  • maintaining open and honest working relationships underpinned by mutual respect and integrity 

Each NPQ programme will be facilitated and attended by colleagues from across the consortium.
