This is the 18th report from the School Teachers' Review Body (Cm. 7546, ISBN 9780101754620), which is an independent body established in 1991 to examine and report on such matters relating to the statutory conditions of employment of school teachers in England and Wales to the Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Education. Tne report is divided into 6 chapters with 4 appendices. The Review Body has set out a number of recommendations, including: that teachers' pay be increased by 2.3% from 1 September 2009 pending the outcome of a review in June 2009; that there be an adjustment to the main and upper pay scale for inner London (as proposed in the 17th Report: Part One, Cm.7252, ISBN 9780101725224), of £26,000 for teachers in Band A, with consequential adjustments to the main pay scale from September 2009. In respect of teachers' professional responsibilities and conditions of employment, the Review Body recommends, that: the Department consult all interested parties on the Review Body's draft statement of purposes and professional responsibilities; that the Department should re-structure the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document (STPCD, ISBN 9780112711988) to make it more coherent and user-friendly; that the Department should investigate long working hours for teachers and head teachers. There are also recommendations in respect of leadership in schools, special educational needs allowances and excellent teachers.

The Review Body was asked to consider two issues: payment for teachers earning £21,000 or less, in the context of the two-year public sector pay freeze that will affect teachers from September 2011; and whether there should be a limit on the value of the discretionary payments that can be applied to head teachers' pay, and if so, what it should be and how it should be applied. The only teachers whose full-time equivalent pay is £21,000 or less are some of those on the unqualified teacher scale. The Department for Education proposed a non-consolidated payment of £250. The Review Body concludes that the non-consolidated payment of £250 in both years is appropriate for all full-time unqualified teachers, with pro-rata payments for those working part-time. Remuneration for head teachers is a crucial issue, and the Review Body concludes that the case has been made in principle for a limit to be put in place, and that effective governance is key to ensuring appropriate reward whilst maintaining proper oversight of public funds. There should be a 'base' Individual School Range (ISR) for a head teacher described in the School Teachers Pay and Conditions Document (STPCD). Any discretion above 'base' ISR pay must be clearly justified and should not exceed the limit of 25% above the individual's point on their 'base' ISR in any given year. The Department should redraft the STPCD to give effect to the recommendations and to draw together all existing discretions as they impact on head teachers.

In this report the Review Body considers wide-ranging changes to the teacher pay framework, focussing on three issues: pay for the leadership group; allowances and safeguarding; and non-pay conditions. The report builds on principles set out in its 21st Report on pay for classroom teachers: increased autonomy for schools to respond to local circumstances within a broad national framework; appropriate reward allied to accountability; and simplification of the existing pay system so governing bodies can use it effectively and with confidence. School-led improvement is creating a variety of new roles, including leadership of multiple schools; and encouraging wider collaboration to spread best practice. The impact of academies is beginning to shape the market for able leaders. The recommendations in this report: (a) provide a clear and usable framework for setting the pay of school leaders, enabling governing bodies to match pay to accountabilities and the local needs of the school as well as offering appropriate reward to high quality leaders who are so crucial to raising standards; (b) provide greater freedom in setting the level of Teaching and Learning Responsibility payments; whilst retaining the main allowances used by schools and the existing safeguarding provisions; (c) remove unnecessary detailed guidance on non-pay conditions whilst retaining the core statutory protections on teachers' working hours and time for planning, preparation and assessment. These proposals will enable substantial simplification of the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document so it provides an accessible handbook for governing bodies, leadership teams and teachers to exercise professional judgement at local level.

In this 22nd report the Review Body was asked to consider how to apply teachers' pay the Government's "average 1 percent" pay uplift policy which applies across the public sector. This remit follows a two year pay freeze and the Government has made clear there will be two further years of pay restraint for the public sector as a whole.In light of the Review Body's 21st report the Education Department published advice to schools on revising their approach to pay. September 2013 will be the last time annual pay increments will be awarded to teachers based on length of service. Thereafter schools will be free to make individual progression decisions based on appraisal with points retained for reference only on the main pay scale. The Department has said there was no additional funding for schools to cover the 2013 pay award. In the area of recruitment and retention the Body suggested there were some emerging areas of concern, including competitive pressures, especially in urban areas. The Review Body has given particular weight to the need for simplicity so schools can concentrate on preparing for implementation of proposals in the last report, and also the need to provide some underpinning support for the teacher labour market as a whole. They recommend an increase of 1 percent from September 2013
