"This network has been extremely valuable to my role, the organisation and dedication of Pauline and the team is paramount to the success.

An easily accessible network of like minded colleagues has not only opened up vast amounts of knowledge and experience but given a space for reassurance in the role. It has enabled me to access resources and experience to enhance the strategic vision of the school and raise the focus of the credibility and leadership worth of the School Business Leader role."

"Being part of NNoSS has been hugely supportive both professionally and personally. Having those conversations within the wider sector and the realisation that 'we are not alone' in our struggles has been very comforting. Accessing the wealth of knowledge, expertise and lived experience not only inspires but also offers relief that it can be survived! Personally, I have grown in confidence and part of that is due to the openness and honestly on the members of NNoSS."

"This group has been so helpful and supportive. I am a keen advocate of networking but no network has proved as valuable and friendly as NNoSS. I’ve worked in two roles whilst being a member and have used the advice and guidance to support my schools more effectively. I now also feel in a position to support NNoSS and share my experiences with members to help them too."

"I have learnt so much in terms of guidance, legislation, best practice and all of this learning is currently being or has been implemented and shared within my school and across my MAT. NNoSS is such a supportive and informative community. Specials is such a niche sector and I personally and professionally have gained so much from being part of it."
