Headteachers in the NAHT leaders’ union have voted to accept the government’s teacher pay deal.
It follows members of the National Education Union (NEU) voting the same way – marking a major step towards ending strike action.
The NAHT union said 85 per cent of respondents were in favour of a 6.5 per cent rise for all teachers and leaders, with a turnout of 46 per cent.
The union also secured a six month mandate for strike action, after formally balloting members since May.
