Pay awards for 2024/25

On 10 September, the Welsh Government confirmed that the pay offer in Wales for 2024-25 is also 5.5%.  The Independent Wales Pay Review Body (IWPRB) had recommended a 4.3% increase, but the Welsh Government increased this to 5.5% due to the “no detriment” principle, which means that teacher pay rises in Wales keep pace with those in England.
