Industrial action by school leaders “will be necessary” if NAHT members reject the government’s “inadequate” pay offer, its boss has said.
Paul Whiteman, the union’s general secretary, said his organisation would survey members on the offer – which includes a £1,000 one-off payment this year and a 4.3 per cent rise for most teachers next year.
They will also ask whether members would be “prepared to vote in favour of industrial action if the offer is rejected”.
The union will then decide whether to formally ballot members for action a second time based on the survey outcome.
