WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION BY DEPUTY J.H. PERCHARD OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 21st MAY 2019
Question
In relation to the average earnings of teachers, will the Minister state –
- the mean average earnings of teachers who are currently in training (i.e. those on the Jersey Graduate Teacher Training Programme or with Newly Qualified Teacher status);
- how many teachers, if any, are currently in such training but are not paid;
- the mean average earnings of teachers who do not receive any additional pay for taking on extra roles of responsibility;
- the mean average salary of headteachers;
- the mean average salary of senior leadership teams within schools; and
- the median and modal average salaries of all teachers (including those who are unpaid)?
Answer
- The mean average earnings of teachers who are currently in training – so includes anyone classed as NQT or who is on the Graduate Teacher Training Programme is £30,853.
If we were to only include those working as a teacher, not in unpaid training or in a supply teacher role, the average salary of the NQT group would be £35,927.
- There are 5 teachers who are in training but are not paid – these 5 are included in the figure above.
- The Average earnings of a teacher, excluding any additional pay for extra responsibilities is £49,371. This is taken from the April 2019 Headcount report and only includes teachers at State Schools, it does not include private schools, highlands lecturers or supply teachers.
Currently only 41% of teachers receive no supplementary allowances, the average salary inclusive of these supplements is £53,671.
- The mean average salary of the Heads in state funded Primary, Secondary and Fee Paying schools is £84,671. This is taken from the April 2019 Headcount report.
- We have assumed in our workings that those on a schools senior leadership team are the Head, Deputy and any teachers within the school receiving a supplementary allowance 6 or 5.
The mean average salary of this group is £71,088.
If Heads were excluded from the calculation the mean average salary is £67,375.
- The Median and mode average salaries of all teachers (including those unpaid) but excluding Heads and Deputies are both the same at £53,078 which is the equivalent of those on an MPSU5 or grade TCH1 15
