How teachers’ performance links to their progression
For teachers employed under the STPCD
The relevant body (usually the governing board) must annually consider whether to increase the salary of teachers who have completed a year of employment since the previous annual pay determination.
Pay decisions must be "clearly attributable" to the teacher's performance, and pay progression should be linked to “continued good performance”, as defined in your pay policy. Your policy must clearly set out how pay and progression will be determined.
This is set out in paragraphs 19.2 and 19.3 of the School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document (STPCD).
