Employee salary information (earning over £100k per annum)

Maintained schools are now required to publish salary information on any employee earning over £100,000 per annum.   

All staff employed directly by the school are paid in accordance with the School Teachers Pay & Conditions Document (STPD) or National Joint Council (NJC) Terms & Conditions (support staff).  All salary levels are determined and reviewed annually by the Pay Committee of the Board of Governors in the autumn term.

Please see below the numbers of employees earning over £100,000 per annum in the academic year 2021/22:

Local Authority (LA) maintained schools are not required to publish a gender pay gap statement because they are classified as public sector employers, which means they fall under specific reporting obligations. The Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Authorities) Regulations 2017 mandates that only employers with 250 or more employees must report on their gender pay gap. Since many LA maintained schools do not meet this threshold, they are exempt from the requirement to produce a formal gender pay gap report. However, it is still beneficial for schools to monitor and address any potential pay disparities to promote equality and inclusivity within their workforce.
