NASS
We are a membership organisation representing special schools in England and Wales providing support, advice, information, events, training, and a strong voice for special schools outside local authority control.
NASS currently has around 400 schools and organisations in membership, which include Non-Maintained Special Schools, Independent Special Schools and Special Academies.
NASS works with its member schools to support, promote, and improve special school provision and to provide a voice for the sector via engagement with key sector stakeholders such as Government, Ofsted and local authorities.
