answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2014 answer text <p>The National Association of Head Teachers wrote to the Secretary of State for Education on 22 October 2014 about paying school business managers on the leadership pay range. In her reply the Secretary of State explained that the School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document (STPCD) only provides for headteachers, deputy headteachers and assistant headteachers to be paid on the leadership pay range. School business managers do not fall within the definition of ‘school teacher’ in the STPCD and so are not subject to its provisions. Schools that are the direct employers of school business managers have the flexibility to decide for themselves the appropriate rates of pay for such staff.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 24/11/2014 15:58:41 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2014 answer text <p>The Secretary of State for Education has had many representations on the question of same sex marriage and relationships, but none relate to the teaching of British values because that is a different matter. All schools have an important part to play in preparing their pupils for life in modern Britain by promoting the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. In addition, all schools are already required to abide by the Equality Act 2010 and promote principles which encourage respect for other people, with particular regard to protected characteristics. It is right to respect other people, even if you do not agree with their way of life. This is a fundamental part of preparation for life in modern Britain, and a principle with which all schools should agree.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Mr Nick Gibb question first answered 21/11/2014 12:38:22 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
