answer text <p>Academies, including free schools, university technical colleges and studio schools, have the freedom to set their own pay and conditions policies. They are therefore free to offer their teachers access to car purchase salary sacrifice schemes. Currently, 15% of all primary schools and 62% of all secondary schools are academies.</p><p> </p><p>In local authority maintained schools, changes to the statutory pay and conditions of teachers must first be referred to the independent School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB). Recent STRB referrals have focused on fundamental reforms to the overall pay and conditions framework for teachers. Following the STRB’s recommendations, these reforms have given schools much greater freedom to attract and retain the best teachers and to reward individuals in line with their contribution to improving their pupils’ achievements.</p><p> </p><p>The demands on the STRB’s time and resources in the reform process mean that the government has had to make hard decisions on the issues it refers to STRB.

answer text <p>Future remits to the School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) will be a matter for the next administration.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>On 12 March 2015, the government published the STRB’s most recent report along with the government’s response. These documents are published online at: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/collections/school-teachers-review-body-strb-reports" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/collections/school-teachers-review-body-strb-reports</a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The report makes recommendations on the pay award for teachers in 2015/16. The government has proposed to accept the STRB’s recommendations in full, subject to the views of statutory consultees. The STRB’s recommended approach will help schools to recruit and retain teachers, and reward high-performing experienced classroom teachers who contribute substantially to improved outcomes for their pupils.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
