Pay scales – England

Teachers' pay scales for England, including illustrative pay scales for 2024/25.

Teacher pay structure in England and Wales

The 2024/5 pay scales blow are only illustrative. Though members have voted to accept the pay offer, your actual pay will depend on the result of the statutory consultation on the Government’s pay offer and, in Wales, the reasults of the snap poll on the pay offer.
