The new pay scales for teachers and school leaders for 2022-23 have been confirmed by the Department for Education.

It follows the announcement earlier this year of a 5 per cent increase for most teachers and leaders, and an 8.9 per cent increase in starting salaries.

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 1, 2022.
