Welcome to the Voice of the Middle Schools

The NMSF is the only organisation that represents the interests and aspirations of middle school headteachers, staff, pupils and governors. As "The Voice of Middle Schools" we have contacts with many national bodies such as QCA; TTA; Ofsted; House of Commons Select Committee (Education) and, of course, LEAs both inside and outside the U.K.

The provision of a support group to all middle schools is a key role of the Forum. Our annual conference gives us the opportunity to discuss the common issues of the day and further develop our national network. We provide high-quality, informed support for all middle schools through the Forum's website, through the work of the Steering Committee and through the support offered by the Executive Officer.

If you have not yet become a member of the NMSF take a look at our history & aims page to see just why you should join us.
