Your salary as a primary or secondary school teacher in England depends on factors like the type of school you work at, its location, and the pay scale you fall under. These salary ranges apply to maintained schools (funded by local authorities). Independent, academy, and private schools can set their own pay but often align with these scales.
For those with Qualified Teacher Learning Status (QTLS), the starting salary in England is a minimum of £31,650, with higher starting rates in London. Teachers typically have their salary reviewed every year, and progression through the pay scale is usually based on performance. A teacher can expect to earn at least £43,607 after five years (more in London).
