Part 2 – Leadership group pay 4.
Introduction
4.1.
The determination of leadership group pay introduced in the 2014 Document should only be applied to individuals appointed to a leadership post on or after 1 September 2014, or whose responsibilities have significantly changed on or after that date. It will be for the governing body to determine in the light of a school’s particular circumstances and context the extent to which any change should be regarded as ‘significant’. In doing so, the governing body will want to pay particular attention to the extent to which the change creates new levels of accountability and responsibility for the leadership group member or members.

Schools may choose to review the pay of all of their leadership posts in accordance with the new arrangements introduced in the 2014 Document if they determine that this is required to maintain consistency either with pay arrangements for new appointments to the leadership group made on or after 1 September 2014 or with pay arrangements for a member or members of the leadership group whose responsibilities have significantly changed on or after that date.
4.3.
Having complied with the requirements of paragraphs 4.4, 5 and 10, the relevant body must determine a salary for headteachers, deputy headteachers or assistant headteachers.
