Frequently asked questions
How much does a deputy senco earn?
We do not yet hold enough verified salary evidence to publish a deputy senco figure. Rather than estimate, we show live vacancies so you can see what employers are actually advertising.
Does deputy senco 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 senco?
In maintained schools in England this is normally a teacher post under the STPCD, often with a responsibility or SEN allowance on top. Whether an allowance applies, and how much, is set by the employer's pay policy — academies and other UK nations may differ.
