How we calculate salary informationAssistant Principal pay in UK education is set by the employer and the applicable pay framework. We publish figures here only where we can evidence them from live public vacancy adverts or an official pay scale. We hold no separate verified pay evidence for London, so no local figure is published and no regional adjustment is applied.

No. We never apply a regional multiplier to a national figure. A location figure is only published where we hold enough verified evidence for that location.
