Local Authority Partnerships
If your school is in a Local Authority which has entered into a partnership arrangement with NACE you will be charged according to your local authorities' (LA) scale of charges for the assessment. You still need to submit your application form to NACE who will forward it to your LA.
Applying Independently:
Schools applying independently will be charged costs ranging from £600 - £1800 depending on the size of school.
