2025 NASS Awards open for entriesThe NASS Awards are a highlight of our year — a chance to come together as a community and celebrate the outstanding achievements of our member schools. They’re a powerful reminder of the life-changing impact of special schools and the innovative, inclusive ways they support children and young people.

Entries are open now until 12 noon on Friday 27th June

All NASS member schools and organisations are invited to submit entries in the following categories:

  • Breaking Barriers & Inclusion
  • Innovation - sponsored by AssuredPartners
  • Outstanding Impact - sponsored by The Edwin Group
  • Special Recognition

To find out more about the award criteria and get tips for writing a strong entry, please download the NASS Awards 2025 Handbook and submit your nomination using the Entry Form.

We’ll announce the 12 finalists in early September and celebrate the winners at our Awards Ceremony on Thursday 2nd October at the Grand Mercure Hotel, Bristol, as part of the NASS Conference.

A special thank you to our headline sponsor ASDAN whose support helps us recognise and reward the remarkable work of our schools.
