The National Union of Teachers (NUT) was founded as the National Union of Elementary Teachers (NUET) for all teachers in England and Wales in June 1870, the year that Forster’s Education Act set up elected local school boards to build elementary schools. In 1888 it became the National Union of Teachers.
The NUT organises teachers in England, Wales, the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey and in Service Children’s Schools throughout the world. As by far the largest teachers’ union, the NUT has the resources and staffing to meet the needs of teachers in all aspects of their professional work. The Union’s structure at headquarters, in the English regions and in Wales is designed to meet the needs of all teachers, including head teachers, deputy head teachers, supply teachers and part-time teachers, all of whom may require professional support, advice and guidance at some stage.

The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) is the only professional association and trade union in Britain to speak exclusively for secondary school and college leaders.
The association has more than 14,000 members including secondary heads, deputy heads, assistant heads, bursars and business managers, college principals, vice-principals and others with whole school/college responsibility. Numbers continue to grow as more leaders recognise the benefits of joining an association that so clearly addresses their needs.
