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.
