1Includes full time teachers from the leadership group and classroom teachers.
2 Excluding metropolitan LEAs and London boroughs.
3 Average salary of full-time teachers in the maintained sector of England. Figures cover all grades and include any allowances paid. Figures exclude sixth form colleges. The salary figures include threshold pay increases. However, they do not include threshold pay increases relating to people who passed the threshold in September 2000 and had not received their payment

by March 2001. This money was backdated after March 2001 and therefore the average salary for March 2001 will be understated.

4 Average salary cost includes employment costs.

Mrs. Gillan

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many teachers in(a) Chesham and Amersham and (b) Buckinghamshire were entitled to a golden hello in 2001–02. [81182]

Mr. Miliband

The information is not collected centrally. The information that is available to my Department on the number of Golden Hello claimants in 2001–02 was given in my answer to the hon. Member for Harrogate and Knaresborough (Mr. Willis) on 6 November 2002,Official Report, column 394W.

Mrs. Gillan

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what assessment he has made of(a) the number and (b) the percentage of teachers (i) passing the threshold for performance-related pay and (ii) rising up the enhanced pay spine having passed the threshold in Chesham and Amersham and Buckinghamshire; and if he will make a statement. [81186]

Mr. Miliband

The data are collected at LEA rather than constituency level. Nearly 2,000 teachers applied for the Performance Threshold in Buckinghamshire in rounds 1 and 2, with a success rate of 97 per cent. Teachers who were placed on point 1 of the Upper Pay Scale in Round 1 were first eligible to progress to point 2 in September 2002. It is too early to compile details of the numbers who have done so at present.
