Congratulations to Mrs Dickinson, Headteacher of Huncoat Primary School, who has recently been awarded the prestigious National Professional Qualification for Executive Leadership (NPQEL). The highly sought-after award recognises her outstanding commitment to school improvement and her exemplary leadership skills. Mrs Dickinson said,
“I am very proud to have completed the Church of England NPQEL, a program that has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to lead effectively across multiple schools within our LET Trust.
The 18-month program was comprehensive, covering 18 units on a wide range of topics, including curriculum, assessment, governance, and the operations of multi-academy trusts. The course was a blend of online learning, three in-person residentials, and extensive pedagogical reading.
The course has given me a deeper understanding of how large trusts operate, and the pedagogical reading has been invaluable for developing best practices and enhancing staff development at our school. I was also inspired by the key speakers who shared their insights on executive leadership, which gave me the opportunity to reflect on my own leadership style.
I look forward to applying the knowledge I have gained to continue to serve and improve our LET Trust.”
