answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>The Department confirmed the teachers’ pay award on 24 July 2018. This included a 3.5% uplift to the main pay range for classroom teachers that will raise starting salaries significantly and increase the competitiveness of the early career pay framework. The upper pay range for higher paid teachers and the leadership pay range were uplifted by 2% and 1.5% respectively. This pay award will run across the 2018-19 academic year, covering 7 months of the financial year 2018-19 and financial year 2019-20. This pay award is covered by a Teachers’ Pay Grant worth £187 million in 2018-19 and £321 million in 2019-20. This grant provides additional funding to schools to cover the difference between the announced uplifts and the 1% award schools would have been expecting and planning for under the previous public sector pay cap.</p><p>My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education has recently set the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB)’s remit asking for their recommendations on the pay award for 2019-20 academic year. The Department highly values the robust evidence based process undertaken by the STRB in reaching its recommendations on teacher pay, and will be submitting evidence on recruitment and retention and affordability as part of this process. This evidence is due to be published in the coming months.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb grouped question UIN 198258 question first answered 06/12/2018 08:55:02 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	196800
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>The Department does not allocate funding specifically for staffing. Schools are best placed to make decisions about how to use their funding to deliver the best outcomes for their pupils.</p><p>The total funding allocated through the schools block of the dedicated schools grant in each of the last five years is shown below:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Dedicated schools grant, <br>schools block funding (in millions)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>£30,655</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>£32,168</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>£32,650</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18</p></td><td><p>£33,094</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>£33,684[1]</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>[1] This figure is not directly comparable to previous years as the central schools services block was introduced in 2018-19. Prior to 2018-19, much of that funding was provided through the schools block. Re-baselining was carried out in this year due to the introduction of the national funding formula, which led to some funding movements between blocks.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 06/12/2018 18:05:21 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
