Contact Details for General Teaching Councils

To teach in a maintained school in the UK, you must be registered with the relevant General Teaching Council.

General Teaching Council for England

www.GTCE.org.uk/contactus

Annual fee as of April 2006 - March 2007 £33

All teachers, no matter how many/few hours they work, must pay the full registration fee. If you are employed by a maintained school, you will receive an allowance of £33 annually. This allowance does not apply to all supply teachers, especially if you work through an agency. However, you may be eligible to claim income tax relief against the GTCE fee.
