Affiliating to the SSAT gives your school membership of a powerful and unique network of national and international schools, committed to raising standards of achievement and transforming education through the sharing of innovative practice.

The Affiliation Network, with over 4300 schools, is one of the largest in the world. Member schools between them educate over 1 million children.

The network is expanding all the time, widening its pool of professional experience and knowledge.

In the last year the network has expanded into new global locations: Mauritius, China, Hong Kong, South Africa and the Netherlands among them. Other international locations are planned in the coming year.
