Wiltshire NUT
Welcome to the website of the Wiltshire Association for the National Union of Teachers.
The History of the Wiltshire Assocation
For a hundred years Wiltshire NUT maintained a network of 5 Associations based in North Wiltshire, Chippenham and District, Kennet, West Wiltshire, and Salisbury. Each Association had Officers and a Committee. Working alongside these Associations was the Wiltshire Division, who would be the “ County” officer in negotiations with the local education authority. In 2000 these Associations were amalgamated to create a single Association/Division, unsurprisingly called “Wiltshire”. The Wiltshire Division meets at least 6 times a year. The meetings are open for all members to attend.
