Is NPQ SENCO Funded?

Will my school have to pay for the course?

The DFE has allocated a limited number of fully funded places to this NPQ, which will allocated on a first come first served basis. There are funded places available for this NPQ for any school in England, including (it doesn’t matter if your school is on the PP50 list or not for this one).

When all of our funded places have been allocated we will need to charge schools for the NPQ for SENCOs. The cost of the course will be £1333 which will be payable in three instalments across the course.

We will confirm with participants whether your place is fully funded or not in July 2024, when DFE announce how many places will be funded.

If it is important to your school that your place is fully funded, we’d encourage you to apply as soon as possible so that you have the best chance

How do I apply for the NPQ for SENCO?

• Apply via our website 
• Once you have applied, we will allocate you a place with the nearest local delivery partner.
• In July, the DFE will open their NPQ registration form and we will be in touch to ask you to urgently complete this.
• We will be in touch to confirm your funding or let you know your school will need to pay.

Unfortunately, until the DFE confirm the number of funded places in July, we are unable to confirm your funding. This is because we just don’t know how many funded places we will be able to offer on each course until we receive this DFE confirmation.

We do know, however, that funding will be allocated on a first come first served basis, so participants who can apply sooner have the best opportunity to secure a fully funded place.
