The National Network of Special Schools is a dedicated community for School Business Professionals working within these settings. In 2020, the Department for Education commissioned Schools North East to set up a dedicated network, based on its own successful model, for School Business Professionals working in England’s special and hospital schools, and alternative provision settings.
Powered by Schools North East, The National Network of Special Schools (NNoSS) is a dedicated community for School Business Professionals working within specialist settings. It is a collaborative network of over 300 School Business Professionals representing over 400 of England’s specialist schools. Through collaborative initiatives, the community strives to ensure their settings are well-resourced for each unique learner. Together, they are a loud and powerful voice, challenging decisions and influencing decision makers for the greater good of the entire specialist sector.
The community has proven to be an essential resource for SBPs, offering unique opportunities to share resources, best practices, and benchmarking to help inform decisions in their settings. Members no longer work in isolation and instead have a bank of CPD right at their fingertips.
NNoSS recognises the importance of having a School Business Professional in every setting and the contribution they make as part of the senior leadership team.
