We do not yet hold enough verified salary evidence to publish a associate assistant headteacher figure. Rather than estimate, we show live vacancies so you can see what employers are actually advertising.
Does associate assistant headteacher pay vary by area?
It can, but we only publish area differences where we have enough evidence for that area — we never apply a regional multiplier to invent a local figure.
What pay framework applies to a associate assistant headteacher?
School leadership posts in maintained schools in England are normally paid on a leadership pay range determined under the STPCD, with the individual range set by the governing body. Academies may set their own leadership pay. Other UK nations have their own arrangements.
