The new for 2024-2025 have been confirmed by the Department for Education.

It comes after the government approved teacher and leader pay rises of 5.5 per cent, pledging to hand schools £1.2 billion towards the cost of covering them.

But the School Teachers’ Review Body estimated its recommendations would cost around £1.65 billion over a whole school year, and the DfE has said schools will need to put some of their own money into the deal to help make up the difference.

Local authority-maintained schools must follow these pay scales but academies and free schools are allowed to set their own.

Here are the new pay rates, effective from September 1, 2024.
