Our core purpose is to facilitate school improvement by offering the highest standard of professional development and leadership programmes to teachers and school leaders from early years settings, nurseries, schools and academies at an affordable price or as funded by the DfE. 

We deliver the Early Career Framework and National Professional Qualifications in the region for the region, setting national standards for excellence.  These programmes form part of the golden thread of teacher development set out by the Department for Education. 

We are a proud partner of the National Institue of Teaching (NIoT) and currently deliver the full suite of NPQ programmes.  We are also an approved delivery partner for the UCL Early Career Framework Programme, having been a member of the consortium which wrote the programme for the Early Roll Out in 2020.  

In addition to national programmes we also provide bespoke professional development for schools at affordable prices.  To find out more please contact us at netsp@newcastle.ac.uk
