Pay scales for teachers and leaders in England and Wales from September 2017

teacher pay

The new teacher and school leadership pay rates for 2017-18 have been confirmed by the Department for Education.

Last month, the DfE accepted the recommendations from the School Teachers’ Review Body, issued in July this year, to keep pay rises for teachers capped at 1 per cent.

While local authority-maintained schools are required to follow these pay scales, academies and free schools are allowed to set their own scales.

Here are the new pay rates, effective from September 2017:

Classroom teachers

 

Headteachers and school leaders

    With a one percent improvement it looks like the current government doesn’t need to make secondary school education attractive for graduates, or indeed a worthwhile profession to stay in. Amazing when you think that over a third of teenagers will go into Higher education and they still can’t make up for the attrition rate of teachers leaving. Hence the advent of classes of 32 to 35 in secondary schools to be the norm where privately educated elite will get 15 pupils per class. A fairer society for all? No chance.

    It would appear that the government doesn’t wish to apply market forces to teachers pay, although it doesn’t mind it when it’s applied to MPs, or CEO’s etc. How very convenient. Expect a deterioration in the quality of service in school, NHS etc. etc. Let’s hope you never have to use them. But of course if you are wealthy don’t have to do you.

    We are all in it together. Yes, sure we are, but they’re not.
    Is this a divided society? Absolutely.
