Church of England NPQ Withdrawals and Deferrals

Key Information

If you wish to defer or withdraw from your NPQ, please contact your Delivery Partner in the first instance to discuss how we might support you.

The contact details for your Delivery Partner can be found under 'Key Resources' on BlackBoard.

If, following this, your circumstances still prevent you from participating then you may request to defer your completion of the programme.

Please note that under DfE guidelines you can only defer you course to the next available cohort, until the cohort expected to take place in November 2026 from which there will be no deferrals.
