<p>The Department will shortly publish evidence on the affordability of increases
to teachers’ pay as part of the Department’s input to the School Teachers’ Review
Body consideration of teachers’ pay for 2018/19. Support staff pay is negotiated by
local authorities and academies.</p><p> </p><p>In July 2017, the Department announced
an additional £1.3 billion for schools and high needs across 2018-19 and 2019-20,
in addition to the schools budget set at Spending Review 2015. This means funding
per pupil for schools and high needs will be maintained in real terms for the next
two years. Alongside our substantial investment, the Department is committed to helping
schools improve outcomes for pupils and promote social mobility by getting the best
value from all of their resources</p>
