City of Leicester NEU
About Us
The City of Leicester NEU has a proud history of supporting local education, across three centuries.
First formed in 1869 as the Leicester and District Teachers' Association, it preceded the formation of the National Union of Elementary Teachers in 1870 and the National Union of Teachers (NUT) in 1889.
In 2017 the NUT joined the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) to form the largest education union in both the UK and Europe:
the National Education Union.
We are the largest education union representing teachers, lecturers, support staff, and school leaders, in maintained and independent schools. We have a powerful voice and have been effective in winning improvements to our members’ working conditions and shaping an education system that works for all.
Our district is highly active in championing education causes in both educational settings and the wider community.
