The new teacher and school leadership pay rates for 2018-19 have been confirmed by the Department for Education.
In July, the DfE announced pay rises of 3.5 per cent for those teachers on the unqualified and main pay scales, 2 per cent for those on the upper pay scale and 1.5 per cent for those on leadership pay scales.
While local authority-maintained schools are required to follow these pay scales, academies and free schools are allowed to set their own scales.
This year’s pay and conditions document has been published over a month later than it was last year.
Here are the new pay rates, effective from September 1 2018.
