NACE - National Association for Able Children in Education

A UK-based charity founded in 1983, the National Association for Able Children in Education (NACE) works with schools, education leaders and practitioners around the world to improve provision for more able learners, driving whole-school improvement and raising achievement for all. NACE believes that all children and young people, regardless of background, should be recognised and have the opportunity to realise their potential. We offer practical resources, support and CPD to help schools review and improve the quality of policy and provision for more able learners within a context of challenge and high standards for all.
