Frequently asked questions
How much does a deputy head pastoral earn?
We do not yet hold enough verified salary evidence to publish a deputy head pastoral figure. Rather than estimate, we show live vacancies so you can see what employers are actually advertising.
Does deputy head pastoral 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 deputy head pastoral?
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.
