Hackney Education Independent and Non-Maintained Special Schools Accreditation

Hackney Education is ambitious about improving outcomes for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Working together with stakeholders, we ensure the individual needs of children and young people in the borough are met with the right support, enabling them to benefit from education, skills and employment opportunities to succeed in life. If you are an independent or non-maintained special school (INMSS) and are educating Hackney pupils, you can apply for a contract and become accredited with Hackney Education via the London Tender Portal. The INMSS accreditation process provides flexibility as new providers can, having met the exclusion and selection criteria, join throughout its duration. There is no limit to the number of providers who can be accredited, and providers who are unsuccessful may re-apply at any time. The accreditation process will be managed online via Hackney's e-procurement portal ProContract under reference DN585609.
