Teachers in residential establishments 2024 allowances update

Joint Education Services circular (JESC) no 232

Pay and conditions for teachers covered by the JNCTRE agreement are aligned with those for mainstream school teachers, as set out in the School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Documents’ (STPCD) (England) and STPC(W)D (Wales) and Burgundy Book, other than where the JNCTRE has agreed separate provisions.

The pay ranges for classroom and leadership teachers employed under the terms of the JNCTRE agreement, effective from 1 September 2024, are, therefore, those set out in the 2024 editions (England and Wales as referenced above) of the STPCDs.

The pay scales for classroom teachers and leaders in England in maintained schools are advisory apart from the minimum and maximum pay ranges. In Wales, the pay spines are mandatory. Establishments are, therefore, expected to revise their pay scales in light of revisions and flexibilities in England within the national framework. This position is a consequence of the linkage to the STPCDs agreed by the JNCTRE in 2007.

Under the terms of the JNCTRE Agreement, all allowances (including Instructors scales) other than the Sleeping in Duty Allowance have been increased in line with STPCDs allowances and should, therefore, be increased by 5.5 per cent in England and 5.5 per cent in Wales with effect from 1 September 2024. The Sleeping in Duty Allowance should be increased by 2.5 per cent from 1 April 2024, in line with the headline percentage pay increase agreed by the NJC for Local Government Services for 2024-2025

Further advice on all matters relating to the JNCTRE agreement is available from the Joint Secretaries. Advice is also available from each of the organisations represented on the JNCTRE for their own members.
