Teachers: Pay
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she will take to ensure that the proposed pay award for teachers does not adversely impact (a) staffing levels and (b) educational provision.
Answered by Catherine McKinnell
The overall core schools budget (CSB) is increasing by £3.2 billion in the 2025/26 financial year, meaning the CSB will total over £64.8 billion.
Final decisions on the teachers’ pay award for 2025 will be made following recommendations from the independent School Teacher Review Body (STRB). We have received the STRB’s report and will respond in due course.
