On 18th July, the DfE laid the Pay Order for the School Teachers Pay & Conditions Document (STPCD) 2025/26 before Parliament. With this, there is a 21 day ‘praying period’ before the new salary figures can officially be recognised. The praying period has now been completed, therefore the Working with Schools payroll team have been hard at work processing the pay award in time for September’s salaries!
The headline increase is a 4% rise across all pay and allowance ranges, including the Main Pay Range, Upper Pay Range, Leadership Group, and Teaching and Learning Responsibility (TLR) payments.
The new STPCD, which includes new FTE salaries for scale points and allowances can be viewed here
