The Minster Learning Alliance welcomes participation in our professional learning by staff of any school, as we believe that our collective experience benefits from wider participation. Some schools choose to participate in a small number of programmes or activities, and there is the option to ‘pay as you go’ for each activity.

However, some schools benefit from opting into MLA membership with a one-off charge, based on the size of the school, that enables schools to access a wide range of professional learning in a cost-effective way. Membership fees are charged annually and are based upon pupil numbers in the previous academic year’s October census. The MLA does not seek to make a profit. Membership fees are used to support the capacity for leadership, administration and provision of professional learning activities.

Membership of the MLA is open to any school, regardless of status, phase, multi-academy trust membership, religious affiliation or location and members can engage in the activities most relevant to their school – there is no minimum or maximum level of activity.
