The membership is currently comprised of nearly 70 CEOs, who represent a variety of specialist (and mixed) MATs from across the country. The main focus of the network is to: 1. Provide support to members on an ongoing basis. 2. Strive to be a strong collective voice for the specialist sector. 3. Work strategically and proactively with national bodies such as the DfE, Ofsted and the ESFA to provide ‘real time’ sector perspectives when required. ![](https://www.apsend.org/images/2026-07_APSEND-MAT-CEO-NETWORK_080.jpg) ![AP & SEND](https://files.schudio.com/ap-send/images/logo/AP_and_SEND_Identity-3(5).png) **AP & SEND** 01708 982624 #### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/APSEND_MATCEO) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/apsend-mat-ceos-national-network/?viewAsMember=true) © Copyright 2023–2026 AP & SEND School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.apsend.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
