Membership of the HA is an essential requirement. The programme is only open to schools in full corporate membership.

If your school is not currently a corporate member you will need to join, or to upgrade your personal membership:

• Primary corporate membership - find out more and sign up here
• Secondary corporate membership - find out more and sign up here
• To upgrade your personal membership to corporate, email membership@history.org.uk 

Please note that all Quality Mark registrations will operate through the schools' corporate membership account, even if the lead name for the Quality Mark is different from the lead name for the corporate membership. However, a corporate membership allows several members of staff to log in, access the Quality Mark unit and upload materials to the portfolio. The expectation is that schools will keep their corporate membership going throughout the 3-year period of their award.
