We offer flexibility around your future plans. Your life membership can be upgraded to the appropriate full membership subscription if you decide to take up an interim educational leadership position. When the employment comes to an end, we will reinstate your life membership.

The initial fee for life membership also includes the cost of part-time classroom teaching cover (0-19 years) for the first 12 months. Should this additional classroom cover be required thereafter, it is available for an additional subscription.

Rule 3.9 - Eligibility: A full member who has ceased to be eligible for full membership by reason of the termination of employment and has become entitled to retirement benefits shall be eligible for life membership. An associate member is eligible for life membership on becoming entitled to retirement benefits.

Life membership does not include public liability or professional indemnity insurances, but if necessary, these are available to our self-employed members at preferential rates through one of our partners, James Hallam ProMed.
