The Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC) is an association of the headmasters or headmistresses of 243 independent schools (both boarding schools and day schools) in the United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies and the Republic of Ireland. There are also International Members (mostly from the Commonwealth) and 30[2] Additional Members who are head teachers of state schools.
History
The Conference dates from 1869 when Edward Thring, Headmaster of Uppingham, asked sixty to seventy of his fellow headmasters[3][4] to meet at his house to consider the formation of a "School Society and Annual Conference".[5] Fourteen accepted the invitation,[3] and twelve were present for the whole of the initial meeting: Rev. Edward Thring (Uppingham), Dr George J. Blore (Bromsgrove), Rev. Albert H. Wratislaw (Bury St Edmunds), Dr John Mitchinson (King's School Canterbury), Mr William S. Grignon (Felsted), Dr Robert E. Sanderson (Lancing College), Dr George Butler (Liverpool College), Rev. Augustus Jessop (Norwich), Rev. Dr William S. Wood (Oakham), Dr Steuart Pears (Repton), Rev. Thomas H. Stokoe (Richmond), Dr Daniel Harper (Sherborne), and Dr James Ind Welldon (Tonbridge). Dr John B. Dyne (Highgate School) attended on the second day, and the Rev. Alfred Carver (Dulwich College) did not turn up.[6][7] From that date there have been annual meetings. It changed its name from the "Headmasters' Conference" to the "Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference" in 1996.[7] The current Chairman is Richard Harman, Headmaster of Uppingham School, and the current general secretary is Dr William Richardson.
Membership of the HMC is often considered to be what defines a school as a public school in England and Wales.[8][9] Not all private, independent schools are in the HMC; in particular, many notable girls' schools, are not members, partly because historically the HMC was for boys' schools only. Today HMC's membership includes boys', girls' and co-educational schools.
Structure
The size of the Conference has grown. As late as the 1970s, membership was confined to 200 schools.
