Last week, the Government announced ‘landmark’ rises to teachers’ salaries with pay increases of between 5-8.9 per cent from September. Under the pay deal, starting salaries for teachers outside London will reach £28,000 in the 2022/23 academic year, while teachers with more than five years’ experience will see their salary increase by 5 per cent.
Making the announcement, education secretary James Cleverly said that the Government is ‘delivery significant pay increases for all teachers despite the present economic challenges, pushing teacher starting salaries up towards the £30,000 milestone and giving experienced teachers the biggest pay rise in a generation.’ He said the move ‘will attract even more top-quality talent’ to the schools’ sector.
