As a member of the NRC, and by signing the Code of Practice for Supplementary Schools, you make a commitment to providing good teaching, effective planning, a safe environment and sound management.

Please complete the membership application form. There are three formats:
If you choose the Word or PDF version, please post or fax it to us. If you choose the online form, it will be automatically emailed to us.
Whichever format you choose, don't forget to complete the code of practice form too (at the end of the membership form) as this is an essential part of your membership application.
