answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2018 answer text <p>The Teachers’ Pay Grant uses funding which has been released from the core schools budget, specifically the Schools Block of the Dedicated Schools Grant and the Pupil Premium.</p><p> </p><p>The amount originally set aside for these budgets in July 2017 was based on the projected number of pupils in schools and the projected number of pupils eligible for the pupil premium, in 2018/19 and 2019/20. These numbers are lower than forecast, and updated projections for 2019/20 suggest slower than previously expected pupil number growth.</p><p> </p><p>Using the funding this difference creates, the Department is providing schools with £187 million in 2018-19 and £321 million in 2019-20, to help them implement the announced pay award.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 13/09/2018 16:26:04 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb previous answer version 74519 answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>The Government is accepting in full the School Teachers Review Body’s (STRB’s) recommended 3.5% uplift to the main pay range, building on last year’s 2% uplift to the main pay range, subject to the consultation. This will both raise starting salaries significantly and increase the competitiveness of the early career pay framework.</p><p>As was set out in the STRB’s remit, it is crucial that the pay award is affordable. There will be a lower, though still substantial, uplift to the pay ranges for leaders and higher-paid teachers. Senior teachers will see a 2% uplift to the upper pay range, while pay ranges for school leaders will be uplifted by 1.5%. These are significantly larger increases than in recent years.</p><p>This is in line with the Government’s approach to pay review body recommendations across the public sector this year, with all pay awards the Government considered the wider pressures on public spending and the need to ensure they are fair both for public sector staff and the taxpayer. This award is fully funded from existing Departmental underspends - there will be no cuts to existing programmes to fund this grant.</p><p>The flexible performance-based pay system, introduced four years ago following recommendations from the STRB, means that schools are able to choose to give teachers or leaders a higher pay rise where this is appropriate to their particular local context and budget.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 11/09/2018 08:30:11 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

This report considered the views of a wide range of consultees, including the Welsh Government. In line with previous years, there was no direct consultation between my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State and the Welsh Government in respect of the Written Ministerial Statement. Statutory consultees, including the Welsh government, were invited to respond to a consultation on the report, the Government’s response to it, the revised School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document, and accompanying Pay Order.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 04/09/2018 12:07:39 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2018 answer text <p>The situation regarding teachers’ pay in Wales presents a unique set of circumstances, in which setting teacher pay rates is currently a reserved matter whilst meeting the costs of the award is devolved. This means that a UK Government decision to increase teacher pay has cost implications for the Welsh Government.</p><p> </p><p>I can therefore confirm that, as a result of this inconsistency in the way teacher pay awards are currently set in Wales, the Welsh Government will receive additional funding of £8.7m in 2018/19 and £14.8m in 2019/20, in line with the principles set out in the Statement of Funding Policy.</p><p> </p><p>Setting teacher pay will be fully devolved to Wales from September 2018 onwards, to pay for the 2019-20 academic year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 13/09/2018 16:22:16 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
