College of Teaching plans to open its doors in September

Teaching staff
Teachers should be able to apply to join the Royal College of Teaching from September if all goes to plan in the coming months.

Chair of the College of Teaching, secondary maths teacher Claire Dockar, has told SecEd that important details such as membership eligibility and the level of membership fees still need to be thrashed out in the coming months.

However, she is hopeful that by the start of the next academic year, teachers will be able to sign up.

It comes as Neil Carmichael MP, chairman of the House of Commons Education Select Committee, hosted a Parliamentary reception to mark the progress so far in creating the College.

The College is now a registered charity and last week saw a petition submitted to the Privy Council seeking approval of the Royal Charter that has been donated from the existing College of Teachers charity.
