Key Differences for 2013 - 14
• Automatic incremental time-served increases up pay spine cease for 2014
• Pay progression based upon annual performance appraisal
• Pay scale minimums and maximums to be retained – schools to determine
pay points on the scale (geographical bands remain)
• Removal of the obligation on schools to match a teacher’s previous salary
(portability)
• Temporary TLRs (TLR3) introduced for fixed term responsibility up to £2,500
per annum for time-limited projects (pro-rata)
Key Differences for 2013 - 14
• Pay scales reviewed to Main Pay Range, Upper Pay Range and Lead
Practitioner Pay Range
• Threshold Assessment replaced by an assessment against the relevant
standards as defined by the school for the Upper Pay Range
• Excellent Teacher and Advanced Skills Teacher pay scales have been deleted
• Current Teacher Standards tied directly to PM & A and pay progression
• Reinforced responsibilities (DfE/OfSTED) for headteachers in managing
teacher performance and now in linking to pay
New Pay Policy
Statements for Policy
3.1 Introduction
In adopting this pay policy the aim is to:
(Insert your school’s aims here). For example:
• Maximise the quality of teaching and learning at the school
• Support the recruitment and retention of a high quality teacher workforce
• Enable the school to recognise and reward teachers appropriately for their
contribution to the school
• Help to ensure that decisions on pay are managed in a fair, just and
transparent way
3.3 Basic Pay Determination on Appointment
The Governing Body will determine the pay range for a vacancy prior to advertising it. On
appointment it will determine the starting salary within that range to be offered to the
successful candidate.
In making such determinations, the Governing Body may take into account a range of factors,
including:
Insert as applicable – these options are for guidance only, are not intended to provide an
exhaustive list, and may not apply to all appointments:
•
•
•
•
the nature of the post
the level of qualifications, skills and experience required
market conditions
the wider school context
There is no assumption that a teacher will be paid at the same rate as they were being paid in
a previous school.
3.4 Pay Progression based on Performance
The changes in the 2013 Document mean that September 2013 will be the last time when
teachers on the main scale receive automatic annual increments and the pay decisions made in
2014 will need to be linked to assessments of performance. Any reference to annual
increments in existing pay policies should be removed. Schools have the flexibility to develop
their own policies to link progression pay to performance.
Decisions regarding pay progression will be made with reference to the teachers’ appraisal
reports and the pay recommendations they contain.
It will be possible for a ‘no progression’ determination to be made without recourse to the
capability procedure.
Evidence and Assessment
To be fair and transparent, assessments of performance will be properly rooted in evidence.
In this school we will ensure fairness by (insert here how the school will ensure that objectives
and assessments are consistent, including any arrangements for quality assurance and
moderation).
The evidence we will use will include (insert here the range of sources that may be used as
the basis for assessing performance e.g., self-assessment, peer review, tracking pupil
progress, lesson observations, the views of pupils and parents).
Teachers’ appraisal reports will contain pay recommendations. Final decisions about whether
or not to accept a pay recommendation will be made by the Governing Body, having regard to
the appraisal report and taking into account advice from the senior leadership team.
(Based upon the school’s criteria for pay progression the school may wish only to refer
instances of no progression and accelerated progression to the Governing Body or a Review
Committee)
Pay Progression Rationale
On linking pay progression to performance, the school should consider:
•
•
•
whether the measures of performance will be absolute or relative or a combination of both
the levels of performance that will be required for progression to be awarded
how progression will be differentiated so that the very highest performers can progress faster
Absolute Performance Measures
Measured by achievement of objectives and in meeting the Teacher Standards at the relevant level
Relative Performance Measures
Measured by comparison with the highest achievers who have made most progress against their
objectives and in meeting and exceeding the Teacher Standards
3.5 Movement to the Upper Pay Range
3.5.1 Applications and Evidence
Any qualified teacher may apply to be paid on the upper pay range and any such application
must be assessed in line with this policy. It is the responsibility of the teacher to decide
whether or not they wish to apply to be paid on the upper pay range.
Applications may be made at least once a year.
Evidence is still required – school can determine time-frame from which it can be gathered
3.5.2. The Assessment
An application from a qualified teacher will be successful where the Governing Body is
satisfied that:
a) The teacher is highly competent in all elements of the relevant standards; and
b) The teacher’s achievements and contribution to the school are substantial and sustained
Upper Pay Range Criteria
(as opposed to Standards & School/Academy Expectations)
‘highly competent’ means (insert agreed definition)
(e.g. performance which is not only good but also good enough to provide coaching and
mentoring to other teachers, give advice to them and demonstrate to them effective teaching
practice and how to make a wider contribution to the work of the school, in order to help them
meet the relevant standards and develop their teaching practice)
‘substantial’ means (insert agreed definition)
(e.g. of real importance, validity or value to the school; play a critical role in the life of the
school; provide a role model for teaching and learning; make a distinctive contribution to the
raising of pupil standards; take advantage of appropriate opportunities for professional
development and use the outcomes effectively to improve pupils’ learning); and
‘sustained’ means (insert agreed definition)
(e.g., maintained continuously over a long period e.g. x number of school years)

5 Pay Assessment and Review
• The school/academy trust has agreed Career Stage Expectations for each
band within the pay ranges which are detailed in its’ Performance
Management & Appraisal Policy.
• Progression through the scale points and between bands will be based on the
teacher demonstrating, through performance appraisal that they meet the
teacher standards and Career Stage Expectations for the new point or band.
• The school/academy trust will award one increment for sustained high quality
performance in line with expectations at that level, two increments where
performance has exceeded expectations and 3 points for exceptional
performance.
5 Pay Assessment and Review
Where a teacher’s performance does not demonstrate a sustained level and is below
the school/academy trust expectations at that level of post, no incremental
progression will be awarded in that year. In such circumstances the teacher’s
performance will be addressed through the Performance Management & Appraisal
policy and possibly Capability Procedure.
The school/academy trust has determined that a teacher paid in Band A would, other
than in exceptional circumstances, be expected to have progressed to Band B within
3 years of taking up their post. In circumstances where a teacher’s performance is not
at that level this will be addressed through the Performance Management &
Appraisal policy and possibly Capability Procedure.
5 Pay Assessment and Review
For teachers on the Upper Pay Range progression would normally be considered after
2 years of sustained high quality performance or earlier where performance has
exceeded expectations. Where performance has not been of a sustained high quality
and is below expectations there will be no pay progression. The pay review will be
completed by November 30th.
A teacher making an application for progression to the Upper Pay Range must be able
to demonstrate, in alignment with the school/academy trust expectations for the
Upper Pay Range that:
• they are highly competent in all elements of the relevant standards
• their achievements and contribution to the school are substantial and sustained
5 Pay Assessment and Review
A newly appointed teacher will usually be appointed at any scale point or pay range
to take account of their previous relevant experience as determined by the
headteacher.
The initial salary on appointment may be on a probationary basis and subject to
performance. This may be reviewed after 6 months, after which time the pay band
and relevant pay point will be finalised. The revised salary/pay range will be no lower
than the initial salary on appointment.
On successful completion of the NQT year a teacher will have a minimum entitlement
to be paid on scale point 2 of Band A.
