“We welcome the revised formal pay offer from management side and believe it represents a positive step forward. We believe that the 5.5% offer on pay is appropriate given the awards which were made in England and Wales - this represents fair pay for the exemplary work undertaken by teachers and leaders alike. We also welcome the focus on workload and the specific proposals within the agreement to tackle this constructively over the coming 12 months.
“We are hopeful that this offer signals an end to the ongoing industrial action and a meaningful reset in industrial relations as described in the offer.”
