Teachers‘ Pay Award 2023 (England)
While members who responded to the consultative survey largely accepted the STRB pay award recommendation being implemented in full, they do not believe that it is sufficient redress for the impact of more than a decade of real-terms pay cuts, where the value of teachers’ pay has declined by more than 25% since 2010.
Teachers’ Pay Scales for England, excluding London and the Fringe
The pay values below are those published in the STPCD and fall short of our demand for a 10% pay increase this year. See more details on our Better Deal for England’s Teachers campaign.
We have set up separate salary scales for members who work in Inner and Outer London and the Fringe.
If you work in an academy that is not operating in accordance with the STPCD, please see our Academies FAQs.

The School Teachers’ Review Body (STRB) recommended that no pay uplift be applied to the maximum values on the Leadership Group Pay Range (LGPR) or to maximum values on any of the eight head teacher group pay ranges in 2015.
This restriction was applied to the maximum of each of the eight head teacher group pay ranges only. It does not apply where a head/deputy/assistant head teacher is not earning the maximum on a head teacher group pay range, but is placed on one of the corresponding points on the LGPR - L18, L21, L24, L27, L31, L35 or L39, which have all increased by 1% in each year between 2014 and 2017, by 1.5% in 2018, by 2.75% in 2019 and 2020, by 0% in 2021, by 5% in 2022 and by 6.5% in 2023.
The NASUWT salary scales are completely consistent with the DfE’s national advisory pay points.
