HC Deb 14 February 2000 vol 344 c399W
Mr. Hesford

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how much teachers will be able to earn once they have passed the performance pay threshold. [109681]

Ms Estelle Morris

Teachers who are successful at the threshold will receive a salary increase of £2,000, and will be placed on the new upper pay range. Teachers on point 9 of the pay scale and currently earning £23,193 will see their salary rise to £25,959 in September if they pass the threshold—a rise of 11.9 per cent. In future years, teachers who have passed the threshold will have opportunities to gain a further four points on the upper pay range, worth approximately £1,000 each. This could take their salary to over £30,000 for high performance in the classroom. Taking on additional responsibilities could take a teacher's salary to over £37,000.
