Unions representing school support staff across England have accepted a pay rise worth at least £1,925, putting to bed a long-running dispute.
Unison and the GMB confirmed this week they had backed the offer from councils, worth 3.88 per cent for the highest earners and 9.42 per cent for those at the bottom of the pay scale.
The pay rise will be backdated to April.
According to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, the pay deal works out as an 8 per cent average rise for support staff.
