The National Union of Teachers was established at a meeting at King's College London on 25th June 1870 as the National Union of Elementary Teachers (NUET) to represent all school teachers in England and Wales. After toying with the idea of changing the name to the National Union of English Teachers the name National Union of Teachers (NUT) was finally adopted at Annual Conference in April 1889. The National Union of Teachers is now the largest teachers’ union in England and Wales.

The Union organises an Annual Conference where members come together to share ideas and debate policy. This is an important forum for the Union’s democratic process and public image.
