answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text <p>Arrangements for teachers’ pay are based on recommendations from the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB), the independent body that advises on teachers’ pay and conditions. The reforms introduced in the last Parliament have given greater autonomy to schools to decide how to reward their staff and how quickly pay progresses. The most successful teachers are now able to progress faster than before. Following consultations with the statutory consultees, the Secretary of State confirmed the government’s acceptance of the STRB’s recommendations on 6 July 2015. The department has no plans to review this decision.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 13/07/2015 14:07:23 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

tabling member constituency	Gravesham
tabling member printed	Mr Adam Holloway
uin	216549
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text <p>Our pay reforms have given schools greater flexibility to develop pay policies that are tailored to their needs. That includes the freedom to pay what they consider to be the appropriate rate for the skills that someone brings and the challenges of the job rather than having to pay a teacher what they had previously been paid at another school. We do not monitor how schools are using their new flexibilities but would expect schools to be actively considering their approach to pay portability within the pay freedoms now available to them.</p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 04/12/2014 18:13:22 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many staff members in all open free schools were paid a salary for their work with that school before its opening; and how much has been paid to such staff in total.
tabling member constituency	Leyton and Wanstead
tabling member printed	John Cryer
uin	213342
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/11/2014 answer text <p>Once an application to establish a free school, university technical college or studio school has received initial approval to proceed to the pre-opening stage, the Department for Education provides a grant to the proposer group to help cover essential non-capital costs, including appropriate salary costs, up to the point at which the school opens. The rates at which these grants are paid are published in the department’s guidance for free school proposer groups (at paragraph 6.11 on page 38), which is published online at: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/free-school-pre-opening-guide" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/free-school-pre-opening-guide</a></p><p> </p><p>Information about how many staff were paid a salary before a particular school opened, how much was paid to staff in total, which groups made such payments and how long salaries were paid before opening is not collected centrally. However, all academy trusts, including free school trusts, are required to comply with company and charity law regarding the preparation of financial statements. Where the trust has a signed funding agreement with the Department for Education, the financial statement must comply with the Academies Accounts Direction. This direction sets out the requirements relating to financial statements, including details of expected staffing disclosures.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson grouped question UIN 213343 213344 question first answered 11/11/2014 16:02:49 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
