Each vacancy is counted once using the midpoint of its advertised full-time salary range. We then take the median across eligible vacancies, so this describes advertised pay, not what employees currently earn. Listings whose pay text suggests pro-rata, actual or unqualified-scale pay, reversed ranges and duplicates are left out; figures far outside national pay scales are held back for review rather than counted (academies, independent schools and London weighting can legitimately differ). Part-time and term-time jobs pay a pro-rata share of FTE, so actual pay can be lower. How advertised pay works · See live class teacher jobs

Frequently asked questions
How much does a class teacher earn in England?
Across live class teacher vacancies advertised in England on SchoolJobs, the median advertised range is £34,069 per year – £47,710 per year. That is advertised pay, not pay received — individual salaries depend on experience, pay point, phase and contract.
Does class teacher 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 class teacher?
Teachers in maintained schools in England are normally paid under the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document (STPCD). Academies may adopt or mirror it, or set their own pay policy. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own arrangements.
