Executive Pay Report

Executive Pay Report

Whilst the school, as an academy, is able to set its own pay scales, the Trustees feel it appropriate to use the same rationale to determine the pay of those on the leadership scale as we do for other teachers, i.e. staying within the recommendations of the School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document (STPCD).

Within the STPCD, a “unit score” determines the headteacher group and pay range.  The unit score is determined by the number of pupils at each key stage on the school register.  The unit score has been calculated and this value suggests that the headteacher group should be set as Group 7 (for a unit score of 11,001 to 17,000; the calculated unit score is 14,436).  L39 is the highest scale point within this range.  The Trustees have also considered local market forces in determining the following pay ranges for the most highly remunerated members of teaching staff:

  • Headteacher: L33-39
  • Deputy Headteacher: L20-24
  • Assistant Headteacher: L13-17

The Academy Trust Handbook requires that the academy trust must publish on its website in a separate readily accessible form the number of employees whose benefits exceeded £100k, in £10k bandings, for the previous year ended 31 August. Benefits for this purpose include salary, employers’ pension contributions, other taxable benefits and termination payments (so the pay ranges quoted do not represent the gross salary of any individual).  In the year ended 31 August 2025:
