England’s best-paid academy trust boss has been handed a £25,000 pay hike – taking his salary even closer to half a million pounds.
Harris Federation CEO Sir Dan Moynihan’s salary has risen by at least 6 per cent from a minimum of £460,000 to £485,000.
It is higher than the 5 per cent increase most teachers saw in 2022–23 – prompting concerns the disparity could impact “the morale and wellbeing of the lowest paid”.
Schools Week analysis of accounts for the last financial year, which trusts must publish on their websites by the end of January, show 15 chief executives across the 20 largest multi-academy trusts (MATs) have seen their pay packets grow.
