Clare College holds two Teacher and Adviser Conferences in Cambridge each year for teachers and advisers from schools and colleges across the UK.
Find out more and register to attend our next Teacher and Adviser Conference below.
When do the Teachers' Conference take place?
We run in-person Teacher and Adviser Conferences in March and June every year.
The dates for the 2023-24 Teacher and Adviser Conferences are as follows:
- Friday 8 March 2024: booking closed.
- Friday 28 June 2024: booking closed.
Please check back in September 2024 for details on the teacher events planned for 2024-25.
How much do these events cost?
Nothing! These events are free of charge. Lunch and refreshments are included.
It is important to us that cost of travel to Cambridge should not exclude colleagues from attending. If you would like to talk to us about how we can support your school with the cost of travel to Cambridge for this event, please contact Libby, Outreach & Admissions Officer, at schoolsliaison@clare.cam.ac.uk.
Who are these events aimed at?
These events are aimed at teachers and advisers at UK schools who wish to learn more about what our Admissions Tutors look for in an application to Cambridge.
All levels of familiarity with Cambridge are welcome. At each event, we typically meet a mixture of teachers who are new to supporting students making an application to Cambridge and those who have years of experience doing so, and we welcome the productive discussion this creates.
Teachers who attend these events often have roles in school with responsibility for university applications such as UCAS Coordinator, Careers/HE Lead, or Head of Year 13 (for example), but these are by no means a requirement and we welcome teachers of all career stages and subject specialisms.
Most attendees at these events are the sole representative from their school, but we are happy for each school to have up to three members of staff in attendance per event.
Please note: due to limited capacity, the Teachers' Conference in June 2024 is only open to teachers and advisers at state (non-fee paying) schools in the UK.
Teacher Day Programme
Each Teachers' Conference begins with coffee and refreshments from 10am in the Gillespie Centre, Clare College Memorial Court.

- A tour of Clare College, including the Forbes Mellon Library
- Lunch and refreshments
The event concludes at 3.30pm.
Please check back soon for events in 2024-25.
We're looking forward to meeting you at an event soon!
