How teachers’ performance links to their progression
For teachers employed under the STPCD
All teachers in maintained schools, and teachers in academies whose contracts transferred at the point of academy conversion, are 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.
You can now choose whether to retain performance-related pay. If you do, you can only withhold pay progression due to poor performance. If you don't, you can only withhold pay progression if the teacher is in capability proceedings.
This is set out in section 19 and paragraph 46.9
