Welcome to NASTA

Welcome to the NASTA website, the independent National Association of School Teaching Assistants.

Ten years ago there were very few TAs in secondary schools and not many more in primary schools. There has been a spectacular increase in the numbers of TAs employed in the last few years, and that increase shows no sign of slowing down. The ex-Secretary of State for Education, Estelle Morris, spoke when in office of an aspiration for every single teacher to have their own TA. There are approximately 400,000 teachers in England! Quite clearly TAs are not just here to stay, they are big, big news.
