Be recognised with Institutional Member Status
Institutional Member Status is an institution-level designation, which recognises and celebrates the growing number of schools, trusts and organisations who commit to professional learning and evidence-informed practice through the Chartered College of Teaching for all or the majority of their staff.
Institutional Members receive a specially designed logo to recognize their status and commitment to:
• Supporting the Chartered College’s mission to empower a knowledgeable and respected profession through membership and accreditation
• Appointing one or more Chartered College of Teaching Research Champion(s)
• Supporting group membership for at least 75% of teaching staff, or over 100 staff (whichever is lower)
Who can apply?
All organisations that meet the eligibility criteria above are welcome to apply for Institutional Member Status – including group members who began membership before the introduction of Institutional Member Status in September 2023.
What kinds of organisations are Institutional Members?
We are pleased to have schools from a range of phases (including primary, secondary, special, and hospital schools), as well as multi-academy trusts. International or UK-based schools and groups are equally welcome to apply!
Where can we use our Institutional Member Status logo?
You are free to use it in letterheads, websites and other materials as you wish, provided that you meet the eligibility criteria – there will be an annual check to confirm that you continue to meet these criteria as an organisation.
