Chartered College of Teaching

Who we are

The Chartered College of Teaching is the professional body for the teaching profession and represents more than 45,000 teachers across the country, reaching more than 3 million students.

The Chartered College is a fast-growing charity making the transition from ‘start-up’ to a sustainable, impactful, high-profile organisation.  We are working to celebrate, support and connect teachers to take pride in their profession and provide the best possible education for children and young people.

Vision: Teachers are working in a research-informed way to provide the best possible education for children and young people.

Mission:We celebrate, support and connect teachers to deliver world-class teaching benefiting pupils and society. Together we will raise the status of the teaching profession.

By raising the status of teaching as a profession, we aim to create a world where highly skilled, passionate and competent people become the visionary and inspiring teachers of the future.

We are dedicated to bridging the gap between practice and research and equipping teachers from the second they enter the classroom with the knowledge and confidence to make the best decisions for their pupils.

Through Chartered College of Teaching membership, teachers have access to a wealth of research, resources and insight to enable excellent teaching. By bringing the profession together and giving teachers a platform for their voices to be heard and their expertise to be respected, we can raise the status of teaching together.
