Free CLOtC Membership in partnership with Canal & River Trust

In partnership with the Canal & River Trust, and supported by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery, we are giving away 100 free CLOtC memberships to schools and educational settings that are located within 1km of a canal or waterway in England and Wales.

This project started in September 2023 and will end in March 2024. 

Please note: this offer has been incredibly popular and we have now reached 100 registrations. We are no longer accepting registrations. Please follow us on social media for news of future projects.

Free CLOtC Membership to schools and educational settings

Schools and educational settings in England and Wales, that are located within 1km from a canal or waterway, are invited to register for a free one year CLOtC membership. To help you take your teaching beyond the classroom, as well as being part of a welcoming and supportive community, you will gain access to:

  • Downloadable resource packs
  • Free access to recorded online CPD training
  • Free access to live online ‘Sharing Good Practice’ sessions
  • Discounts on face-to-face training and the CLOtC conference 
  • Discounts from other organisations
  • Access to CLOtC network and advice

What's involved?

  1. Complete the online form below. Once we receive your registration, your school will be checked for eligibility i.e. distance located to a canal or waterway.
  2. Complete a pre-survey. Schools that are eligible will be required to complete a survey to help us monitor the impact our membership has on your staff, students, and school or setting.
  3. Receive your membership. Once you have completed the survey, you will be sent an email to activate your membership allowing you to log into members’ content on this website.
  4. Attend an online information session. We will offer two free online information sessions for you to find out more about your membership and how it can support your LOtC.
  5. Access free resources, training and other support. From when you receive your membership, you have one year to access the member benefits which are updated monthly.
  6. Complete a post-survey. When your membership is due to expire, we will ask you to complete a post-survey.
