About NATE
NATE currently has more than 2000 members, which includes a third of all secondary schools in England.
The association is run on a voluntary basis through elected executive and council committees. Members are affiliated to a network of regional branches. The administrative base is in Sheffield where there are offices, a meeting room, publications warehouse and a dispatch centre.
The association has a range of committees and working parties which address current concerns, disseminate knowledge and ideas, promote the work of the association and seek to represent the views of the association to national bodies, local authorities, the DfE, Ofsted, the Standards and Testing Agency (STA), examination boards, etc.
