answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/11/2014 answer text <p>Arrangements for the engagement of agency supply teachers, including their pay rates, are private commercial arrangements. The Government does not collect data on these arrangements and so is unable to make a comparative assessment with the salaries of teachers who are subject to the terms of the School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document.</p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 10/11/2014 17:29:23 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws

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

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to introduce legislation to give headteachers and schools greater autonomy over teachers' pay and to allow them to reward, recruit, and retain the best teachers.
tabling member printed	Lord Browne of Belmont
uin	HL2090
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2014 answer text <p>This Government has recently reformed the statutory framework for teachers’ pay to give maintained schools greater autonomy. New statutory arrangements came into effect in September 2013 that give schools more freedom to decide how much they pay a teacher and how quickly pay progresses. This increased flexibility, which academies already enjoyed, supports headteachers in attracting and recruiting the teachers that they need to deliver outstanding education.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 22/10/2014 16:12:47 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
