Hi everyone,
I have a friend who's been teaching for years in college in SE London and I'm certain that she's not on anything like 60,000 GBP. So I had a look on google and found this website from
http://www.tda.gov.uk/upload/resourc...r_salaries.pdf.
It states the max for an excellent teacher is 43,860 GBP and then it goes up more if you are in a leadership group (I don't know what that is).
The other website to check out is
TDA – Training and Development Agency for Schools – pay and benefits
You can earn 60,000+ but that only appears to be if you are in a leadership group or headteacher, but the headteacher salaries start at 39,525 GBP.
That website was of September 2007.
Hope that helps,
Karen
