Today, we’re sharing news we’ve been looking forward to announcing: Bitnet Solutions is now an official partner of NASS the National Association of Independent & Non-Maintained Special Schools.
This is more than a commercial partnership. It’s a commitment to a sector we genuinely care about. Special schools face a distinct set of challenges complex student needs, lean operational teams, regulatory requirements, and the constant pressure to do more with limited resources. Technology, when it works well, can make a real difference to the people running these schools and, ultimately, to the children they serve.
Who is NASS?
NASS is the membership association for special schools across England and Wales, supporting a community of over 500 schools and organisations. They provide information, training, events, advocacy, and a national platform so that specialist provisions are informed, recognised, and represented. It’s an organisation that genuinely champions high-quality special education and we’re proud to be part of their partner network.
What does this mean in practice?
As a NASS partner, Bitnet Solutions will collaborate with member schools to provide technology solutions tailored to the unique needs of specialist education settings, beginning with EDART, our management information system designed specifically for SEN schools.
EDART brings together everything a specialist setting needs to manage student data, ensure child protection, meet compliance requirements, and streamline day-to-day operations, all in one place.
Beyond EDART, our support extends to the full technology picture: understanding the safeguarding obligations, the funding constraints, and the operational realities of running a SEND setting, and building solutions around them.
Our services span IT infrastructure and support, cybersecurity, cloud solutions, connectivity, and strategic technology planning. Whether a school needs a reliable partner for ongoing IT management or expert guidance on a specific project, we’re here to help.
“We believe every student deserves a school that has the technology and infrastructure to operate at its best. This partnership is a step towards making that a reality for more special schools across the country.” — Bitnet Solutions Team
We’re excited about what this partnership makes possible, and we look forward to meeting and supporting schools across the NASS community. If you’d like to find out more about how we can help your school, please get in touch we’d love to hear from you.
