Riding Forward works in partnership with Inspiring Leaders, who offer nationally accredited leadership development at all levels of the DfE’s National Professional Qualifications framework from middle, senior, heads to executive leaders.

Inspiring Leaders is a partnership of schools with a common passion to develop the inspirational school leaders of tomorrow. In partnership with Ebor Academy Trust and with facilitators from Hope Learning Trust York, Pathfinder Multi-Academy Trust, Wolds Teaching School Alliance, and All Saints Diocese of Middlesbrough Teaching School Alliance, we now deliver the NPQH, NPQSL & NPQML programmes across York, the East Riding and the Humber, the Yorkshire Coast and Middlesbrough (North East). Our feedback shows that participants recognise the value of our carefully constructed delivery model, our exceptional facilitators and the importance of working with and learning from current inspiring school leaders.

Members of our Alliance work closely with Inspiring Leaders to provide facilitators for the leadership development programmes who are outstanding school leaders in their own right.  Riding Forward also welcomes opportunities to offer NPQML and NPQSL leadership development programmes on a cluster model basis within our own locality and region.
