Head teachersĪgain, head teachers at state schools are paid on a set scale. However, most independent school teachers earn somewhere between £36,000 and £50,000 – not so different from state schools after all. Their salaries aren’t published publically, but there’s a preconception that teachers in independent schools earn more than their state school counterparts. Unlike state schools, independent schools are completely free to determine their own pay scales. With a quick search, you can also find the full list of pay scale points… but you probably don’t need to do that until you’re actually qualified. You can find out the basics of current teacher pay scales on the Government’s Get Into Teaching website. Leading Practitioners in Inner London can earn between £50,000-£72,000. If you’re at the top of the upper pay scale, with the maximum additional pay for SEN and TLR, and working in inner London, you can make over £60,000. Salaries in Scotland and Northern Ireland are slightly lower.Īdding it all up gets to a far more encouraging total. Teachers in London are paid the most, then outer London, then the fringes, and then everywhere else in England and Wales. There are also bonuses depending on where you work.There’s a scale for these extra payments too, though it’s more flexible. On top of that, you can get paid extra for the Teaching and Learning Responsibilities (TLR) you take on, and for working with children with Special Educational Needs (SEN).Their job is to pass on their expertise as well as teaching in classrooms. There’s an even higher pay scale for teachers who qualify as Leading Practitioners.After you finish the main pay scale, you can be assessed and move onto the upper pay scale.If you perform particularly well you can take two steps per year, so excellent teachers can rocket up through the salary levels.
