School teachers will see a 6.5% pay increase over the next two years, with 3.5% added in September 2026 and an additional 3% in September 2027, giving a cumulative rise of 17 % since the general election. The Department for Education will provide £1.8 billion to schools over two years to support these raises, while £485 million will be earmarked for colleges and further‑education providers. Schools will be required to secure the first 1 % of each pay award from their own budgets. The government will also tighten executive pay at academy trusts, limiting advertised roles to those over £174,000 to the approval of the Secretary of State and aligning executive increases with teacher rises. These measures are part of a broader effort to improve recruitment, retention and value for pupils.
