Congratulations to Emily Calvert for completing the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH). 

The nationally recognised qualification for leadership took Emily just under 2 years to complete alongside her role as Head of School at North Worcester Primary Academy. 

NPQH involves two separate projects: one in your “home” school, and a second in a “placement” school. Emily explains “The focus of my first project was the progress of Language and Communication in the Early Years and my second was about effective use of staffing and continuous professional development to utilise staff effectively.” 

We are certain Emily’s enhanced experience will make a positive difference within the Trust. 

On her achievement, Emily commented “I am completely THRILLED!” 

Achievement is one of the Trust’s guiding principles, alongside Sharing, Trust, Respect and Safety. As a Trust we have high expectations and encourage staff and pupils to seek opportunities to improve and strive for high standards. Through her professional development Emily has demonstrated her commitment to live the STARS values and is an exemplar for our vision to love learning for life.
