Frequently asked questions

How much does a ks1 teacher earn?

We do not yet hold enough verified salary evidence to publish a ks1 teacher figure. Rather than estimate, we show live vacancies so you can see what employers are actually advertising.

Does ks1 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 ks1 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.
