Group Membership

For Trusts and Groups, we calculate annual membership fees based on the number of schools within your organisation. Discounted group membership is available to organisations with two or more schools eligible for full or associate membership. To qualify, all special schools within the organisation must become members. Depending on the size of your schools, it may be more cost effective to apply as individual school membership.
