Teachers’ Pay and Conditions 2018 Update

10th September 2018

We are still waiting for the publication of the School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document 2018 following the recommendation from the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB).

Just to recap, the STRB recommended a 3.5 per cent uplift to pay to be applied equally to all salaries and allowances, however on 24 July 2018, the Secretary of State announced uplifts to the minima and maxima of:

• 3.5 per cent for the main pay range
• 2.0 per cent for the upper pay range
• 1.5 per cent for the leadership pay range.

A Statutory Order is required to be approved by parliament in order to introduce the 2018 School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document and the revised rates of pay cannot be confirmed until this process is completed.

Heads HR will be issuing advice to our customers on the implementation of the pay award once the 2018 document has been published.
