The union was founded in 1891 as the Incorporated Association of Assistant Masters in Secondary Schools, although it soon became the "Assistant Masters' Association", a counterpart to the Association of Assistant Mistresses (AAM). Membership of the union grew steadily, reaching 3,259 in 1910, and about 40,000 by 1978.[1]
From 1978, single-sex trade unions were prohibited, and the AMA accordingly merged with the AAM, forming the Assistant Masters' and Mistresses' Association.[1]
