Frequently asked questions
How much does a school receptionist earn?
We do not yet hold enough verified salary evidence to publish a school receptionist figure. Rather than estimate, we show live vacancies so you can see what employers are actually advertising.
Does school receptionist 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 school receptionist?
Many maintained schools in England and Wales use support-staff pay structures derived from the NJC national agreement, but grades, points and term-time arrangements are set locally by the employer. Academies, independent schools and private providers may use their own scales.
