At NAHT we’re a community of 29,000 "great minds". Education professionals working in senior teaching roles across primary and secondary, independent and maintained, SEND and early years. We represent and support senior leaders; heads, principals, deputies, vice principals, assistant heads and school business managers. Members can take advantage of immediate access to significant union support, legal advice, high quality training and development, plus we lobby hard as a voice of senior teaching professionals.
Great minds think alike
But don’t take our word for it… Our members tell us how valuable they find the support and advocacy they receive. Louisa, NAHT member who is headteacher of a south west primary and early years school, told us: “It’s vital to have a group of people that understand our roles. I can’t fault the practical advice, knowledge and emotional support that I've received, NAHT provides peace of mind through a knowledgeable team you can depend upon”.
In fact 94 per cent of our members tell us that they would refer a colleague to join NAHT.
How can I benefit from being a member?
Core benefits of membership include our expert helpline, quality professional support and advice at every turn, outstanding trade union representation should you need it, a CPD offering that's second to none and a proven record for professional representation and lobbying on your behalf. Probably the reason we won the highest member satisfaction level of any education union*.

Taking place in London on March 18, 2016, or Manchester on May 20, 2016, you’ll be inspired by speakers and practitioners who will give an insight into the role.
