Lowest-paid sixth-form college teachers to get 2% pay rise

The lowest-paid teachers at sixth-form colleges will get a 2% pay increase under a deal struck between the National Education Union and the Sixth-Form Colleges Association.

The SFCA, which represents 90 post-16 institutions across England, has agreed to increase the pay of everyone on points 1 to 6 of the national teacher pay scale and a 1% rise to those above point 6. The rise relates to the current academic year, and will be backdated to September 2017.

The move brings sixth-form college teachers in line with other school teachers, who received the same deal last year. The agreement follows the NEU’s rejection of the SFCA’s previous offer and threats to ballot members for industrial action.
