answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>There is a statutory process for revising the pay and conditions of teachers and any change must first be referred by my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State, to the independent School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB). The demands on the STRB’s time and resources mean that the Government has to make hard decisions on prioritising the issues it refers. The Government is committed to making the teaching profession an attractive and competitive career but is not currently considering proposing an extension to the current salary sacrifice schemes for teachers to cover cars.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 02/07/2019 11:35:27 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>The School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations on teacher pay. The STRB is currently considering the appropriate pay award for the 2019-20 academic year and is expected to make its recommendations at the end of May 2019.</p><p>In January 2019, the Department submitted written evidence to the STRB. In this it was noted that a 2% increase in teachers’ pay, in line with forecast inflation, is affordable nationally within the overall funding available to schools for the 2019/20 financial year.</p><p>Alongside this evidence the Department published an assessment of teacher pay affordability in a schools’ costs technical note. This note provides information on costs for schools in the financial years 2018/19 and 2019/20, and can be found here on GOV.UK: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/schools-costs-technical-note" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/schools-costs-technical-note</a>.</p><p>It is important to note that the effects of the 2018 pay award will continue to be supported through the £321 million Teachers’ Pay Grant in 2019/20.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 08/05/2019 16:32:40 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Agnew of Oulton on 5 November 2018 (HL11052), what further discussions they have had with stakeholders regarding centrally employed teachers not covered by the Teachers' Pay Grant.
tabling member printed	Lord Watson of Invergowrie
uin	HL14886
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2019 answer text <p>The teachers’ pay grant is to support schools with the cost of the award. Centrally employed teachers make up less than 1% of all classroom teachers, and we anticipate that local authorities will cover the additional increase from existing budgets. While we are distributing the grant on a per pupil formula, we do not have an equivalent basis on which to provide funding to local authorities, given the variability in approach to centrally employing teachers between different authorities. Many centrally employed teachers are employed by music education hubs. We recently announced a £1.33 million increase in funding for music education hubs for 2018/19 and 2019/20 to help with a range of pressures including pay.</p><p>Since November, we have discussed this further with a range of stakeholders, including the Local Government Association, other representatives from local authorities and representatives from teacher unions.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 10/04/2019 12:42:24 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimates his Department has made of the comparable costs of the (a) recommendations of the School Teachers’ Pay Review Body that all pay and allowance ranges for teachers and school leaders are uplifted by 3.5% from September 2018 and (b) his Department's pay package introduced following the that School Teachers’ Pay Review Body report.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>In July 2018, the Department accepted in full the School Teachers’ Pay Review Body (STRB) recommendation for a 3.5% uplift to the minima and maxima of the main pay range. As a result, classroom teachers will see starting salaries increasing by between £803 and £1,004. The Department also announced a substantial uplift to pay ranges for leaders and higher-paid teachers: 2% on the upper pay range and 1.5% on the leadership pay range.</p><p>This was supported by a new Teachers’ Pay Grant of £508 million over two years, covering the difference between these awards and the 1% award that schools would have anticipated under the previous public sector pay cap. This was funded using existing Department for Education resources, recognising that the pay award would have a significant impact on school budgets.</p><p>Providing an equivalent Teachers’ Pay Grant to cover the difference between a 3.5% award for all pay ranges and the previous public sector pay cap would have cost over £900m across two years.</p><p>In line with the overall government approach to pay review body recommendations across the public sector, the Department needs to balance the importance of rewarding teachers with ensuring awards are affordable and fair to the taxpayer.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 31/01/2019 17:03:01 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
