HC Deb 24 May 1984 vol 60 cc484-7W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will detail in full the present pay rates for teachers, including all scaled posts, deputy headships and headships; and if he will publish the details in similar form of the current 4.5 per cent. offer to teachers by the Burnham management panel.

Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many teachers there are at each grade, including heads and deputy heads; and what is the minimum and maximum salary level in each case.

Sir Keith Joseph

The following tables give the information requested for qualified full-time teachers in maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools in England and Wales, excluding special schools where different scales apply to the 16,595 teachers, or 3.8 per cent. of the teacher force. These scales can be found on pages 16, 17 and 18 of "Scales of Salaries for Teachers: Primary and Secondary Education" available in the Library.

Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the average salary paid to teachers under the current Burnham awards; and if he will make a statement.

Sir Keith Joseph

The average salary of full-time teachers in maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools in England and Wales (excluding special schools) based on the number and distribution of teachers in March 1983 is about £9,100.

Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will detail the number of teachers holding scale 1, 2, 3, 4 and senior teachers' posts and the number of heads and deputy heads in post at each of grades 1 to 14 schools.

Sir Keith Joseph

The latest information is for 31 March, 1983. The numbers of full-time teachers in maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools in England and Wales on that date were:

* There is a common salary scale for deputy heads in schools in groups 1 to 3. Figures are not readily available of the numbers of deputy heads in each of these groups separately.

In the preceeding figures some teachers may be allocated to a post for which they are being paid rather than the post they are occupying. This is because payment of a protected salary is not in all cases recognisable on a teacher's record.
