ASPE was founded almost 20 years ago in the belief that one of the best ways to advance primary education is through professional collaboration and action. ASPE is open to all involved in primary education and aims to promote:

• independent and informed commentary on major issues
• productive professional collaboration
• independent research and reflection
• the enhancement of practice
• dissemination of information and good practice

ASPE is a registered charity and promotes and fosters the development of informed and reflective study of Early Years and Primary Education. ASPE brings together and promotes collaboration within and between the various constituencies involved in primary education. ASPE members include cutting-edge writers and researchers of national and international repute, classroom practitioners, local authority advisers, consultants, university teachers and educators in the broadest sense. This broad membership has a strong feel-good factor, and ASPE conferences have a buzz which is bracing and invigorating. If you join ASPE you will be entitled to:

• reduced subscription to the internationally recognised ASPE journal, Education 3-13
• electronic access to the articles in all previous editions of the journal
• priority booking at reduced rates for ASPE conferences
• participation in all national and regional ASPE activities and initiatives
• copies of the ASPE Newsletter
• partnership with others in the promotion of well informed and reflective primary practice.
