National Association of Independent Schools and Non-Maintained Special Schools

NASS Member Schools and Organisations

From 1st April 2011 until 31st March 2012 the initial annual licence fee for individual NASS member schools will be £1,050 + VAT per school.

From 1st April 2011 until 31st March 2012 the subsequent annual licence renewal fee will be £385 + VAT per school.

To purchase a licence for the CASPA software please complete the software purchase agreement in full, and return it to NASS with the initial licence fee payment. The address for sending your order to is NASS, PO Box 705, YORK, YO30 6WW. Orders will not be accepted without the completed purchase agreement and payment.

All software orders will be dealt with on a first come, first served basis. However, priority will be given to those schools who expect to be subjected to an Ofsted Inspection within 90 days of the date that their order is received by NASS. We anticipate high demand and will be processing orders in batches. We expect that all orders will be processed within 28 days but, if we anticipate delays, we will notify you of this before processing your payment.

Maintaining Organisations, who hold NASS membership under the group membership scheme and maintain two or more schools, will be entitled to receive the LA Module of CASPA at no additional charge, providing two or more of their schools have purchased CASPA through NASS.

The LA Module is used to aggregate data returns from schools. The LA module of CASPA replicates all of the reporting and analysis functionality of the School Module, but allows all analysis and reporting to be run at scopes wider than an individual school, right up to Organisation-wide. The LA Module can therefore report for cohorts based on a single school, selected schools, or all schools.

For those NASS members who have already purchased CASPA from SGA Systems, you will be eligible to transfer your licence renewal to NASS thus allowing you to take advantage of the discounted licence renewal fee NASS has negotiated with SGA Systems.
