The DfE has announced that School teachers and leaders will receive a fully funded 5.5% pay award effective September 2024. The decision means the recommendations of the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) have been accepted in full. Schools will receive almost £1.2 billion in additional funding to cover their costs, fully funding the pay award for teachers and support staff in financial year 2024 to 2025 at a national level.
The pay award applies to maintained schools, with academies continuing to have freedom over their pay and conditions.
Alongside the pay award, the requirement for schools to use the performance related pay system (PRP) process will be removed from September.
The government will also clarify that teachers can carry out their planning time at home, improving flexible working for staff.
We will keep you updated with developments and you can access further information about teachers' pay on our HR Resources hub.
