Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the capacity of the schools budget to accommodate a pay increase of two per cent as recommended by the School Teachers' Review Body.
The Department has published its assessment of teacher pay affordability in our latest schools’ costs technical note. This provides information on costs for schools in 2018-19 and 2019-20, and can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/schools-costs-technical-note.
