Ministers received detailed advice from officials before announcing the Teachers\u2019 Pay Grant. Unions and other representative organisations also contacted the Department.<\/p>

The Teachers\u2019 Pay Grant was introduced in response to changes to the School Teachers\u2019 Pay and Conditions Document (STPCD), following recommendations from the School Teachers\u2019 Review Body. This document applies to maintained schools, and as many academies choose to follow it, the grant was available to both maintained schools and academies.<\/p>

There are 16-19 maintained schools which must follow the STPCD. These were included in the pay grant, alongside equivalent academies.<\/p>

Further education (FE) and sixth form colleges have a different legal status and relationship to Government. They are private institutions, independent of Government, and it is for employers to agree pay structures, based on local needs. The Department is considering carefully the needs of FE colleges, including in relation to funding, in preparation for the next Spending Review.<\/p>
