The National Association of Special Schools
NASS is the membership association for special schools in England and Wales. We provide support, advice, information, events, training and a strong national voice.
We’re a growing community of over 500 schools and organisations, and welcome every type of special school – independent, special academies, multi-academy trusts with special schools, non-maintained, and maintained special schools.
We work in close partnership with our members, other SEND organisations, and with central and local government, providing insight, information and influence to help shape the future of special education. NASS champions high-quality, specialist provision within a modern, inclusive education system that respects the choices of children, young people and their families.
We’ll be heading to the Chesford Grange Hotel near Warwick for our biggest event of the year. Across the two days, we'll bring special schools together for learning, sharing and connection.
