Welcome to FASNA
I should like to welcome you to FASNA, the only national forum for Primary, Secondary, Special schools and governors seeking and using greater autonomy in order to raise standards. Uniquely, our National Committee has elected representatives from governors, bursars and clerks as well as headteachers so we have a wealth of expertise on which to draw. We are a-political and we have strong links with many officials and teams at the DfE. The benefits of membership are wide ranging but above all we provide a forum and network where headteachers and others from forward looking, innovative thinking schools, can inspire and learn from each other.
