Application Process

NPQ Application Process

Applications for our Autumn 2024 cohort are now open. Please follow the steps below:

STEP 1

Teacher Registration Number (TRN)
Name as recorded by the Teacher Regulation Agency (TRA)
Choice of ‘Church of England’ as your provider
Once registration is complete the DFE will send the details to Church of England

STEP 2

You will be sent an application from Church of England and CES via email once your details have been sent through from the DfE registration. The form requires:

Choice of NPQ and NPQ Route – ‘Standard’ if applying with Avila
Tick the box if you are part of our Leaders Like Us Programme (you will be aware if that is the case)
Choice of course start date
Choice of Lead Provider – ‘Avila (Region 19, Catholic Schools)’
Once completed, a separate form will go to your sponsor (headteacher/principal/line manager) for them to approve your application. This can sometimes be filtered to junk so please ask your sponsor to look out for it. You cannot be offered a place without sponsor agreement.
This needs to be returned within 5 days of receipt.

STEP 3

Avila will receive your application and, once your sponsor has endorsed it, will issue a provisional offer – this can take up to a month. We will be in touch if we are unable to accept your application for any reason.

STEP 4

Once you are accepted onto the course, Avila will contact you with NPQ session timings and dates.

If you have any problems with your application please email NPQ@churchofengland.org
