Today, the government has today made an offer of a 6.5% pay rise for teachers for September, implementing the recommendations of the School Teachers’ Pay Review Body (STRB).
There will be additional funding given to schools to cover 3% of the rise, amounting to £900m in the 2024-25 financial year. This money will come from ‘reprioritising within the DfE’s existing budget’ to deliver this, but ‘frontline services’ will be protected from cuts; it will be delivered in the form of a grant for schools. More information on the amount of funding each school will receive is available on the DfE website.
