Dear Deputy Ward ,
Newly Qualified Teacher's Pay
Further to the Panel's request of 21st October 2019 I am pleased to provide the answers to your questions below.
Changes to the starting salary of Newly Qualified Teachers (NQT) were first proposed as part of the MTFP 2017 – 2019 and the introduction of the change took effect from September 2017. From this date most NQTs joining the organisation were paid at the first increment of the Teacher pay scale instead of the previously used third increment. This accords with the original intention of the pay scale, and corrected subsequent informal policy changes. The exception to this change was for trainees already in the Jersey Graduate Teacher Training Programme (JGTTP), who had enrolled with the expectation of starting as NQTs on the third point. This was honoured for those starting in September 2017.

TCH1 01 0 | £34,578 | £35,270 | £35,975 | Used for NQTs after 01/01/2017 |
