The Education Act 2002 gives the Secretary of State power to issue guidance on pay and conditions, to which those concerned must have regard. Since 2003 this publication has brought together the two key parts of the framework for the England and Wales pay arrangements – the School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Document and the statutory guidance.

The Document (Section 2 – the statute) and the guidance (Sections 3 and 4 – the statutory guidance) need to be read together to provide a complete picture of pay and conditions arrangements for teachers in England and Wales.

The statutory requirements for teachers’ pay and conditions for maintained schools in England and Wales are set out in the Document, and schools and local authorities must abide by these. LAs and governing bodies are required to have regard to the statutory guidance, and in respect of guidance on procedural matters a court or tribunal may take any failure to do so into account in any proceedings.

There have been a number of changes to the Document since the 2008 version and a number of amendments, updates and clarifications have been made to the statutory pay guidance in sections 3 and 4.
