Teaching Pay Scales (England) for 2024-2025 

2024/25 Teacher pay award

The Independent School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) has recommended a 5.5% pay increase for teachers in England, effective from 1 September 2024. The government has accepted this recommendation and introduced a funding package to help schools cover the additional costs of the pay rise. For more information on the implementation process, please visit the NASUWT's Pay Award (England) page.
