An update on pay in England’s schools

19 August 2022 update:

In NAHT's newsletter (18 August 2022), general secretary Paul Whiteman updated members on the union's current position regarding the government's proposed pay award, saying he has never seen NAHT members so frustrated.

He urged members to get involved in forthcoming consultations with the union by attending local branch meetings, tuning in to union broadcasts, and returning surveys they will be asked to complete.

July 2022 update:

NAHT general secretary Paul Whiteman has laid out the union’s position regarding the recent pay awards.

In a recent email to members in England, he outlines two important aspects – the inadequacy of the pay awards themselves and the question of affordability. He said the union is focusing on both these aspects and will be asking members to engage in a consultation at the start of next term over potential next steps.

The life members' sector council (LMSC)

Whether leaving a labour of love or embracing a life of leisure, there can be no doubt that retirement from school leadership marks a huge change in lifestyle. There will be adjustments to make, new challenges to take and a range of new opportunities. At a time like this, it is important that our experienced members do not lose all the support they received in their working life. Our LMSC is here to ensure members are supported in retirement.

This council feeds its extensive wealth of experience and know-how to support the work of NAHT. It also gives our life members the chance to make important contributions to our campaigns for working members. It meets four times a year and is made up of one elected representative from each of our regions, with the addition of one place each for Northern Ireland and Wales. These elected committee members normally serve a three-year term.

Areas of focus for the LMSC include the following: 

  • current legislation issues, eg pension provision
  • action against discrimination, including age discrimination.
