By Gemma - April 1st, 2026 | Posted in Article

We are pleased to announce that we have formally become a member of the National Association of Special Schools (NASS). This milestone strengthens our ongoing commitment to championing excellence, collaboration and national advocacy within the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) sector.

As a family of specialist education providers we are dedicated to transforming the lives of pupils and students through high-quality, inclusive education. Joining NASS enables Orchard Hill College & Academy Trust (OHC&AT) to collaborate with a respected national network of specialist schools and colleges dedicated to advancing best practice and influencing SEND policy. This partnership supports our mission to advocate for high-quality provision and to share and learn from expertise across the sector.

Through this collaboration, we look forward to contributing to national conversations, accessing specialist networks and continuing to share sector leading practice from across our academies.

As we move forward, our focus remains working together to transform lives.
