Unattached teachers' pay policy

Other payments

The senior manager can make payments as they see fit to an unattached teacher for: 

  • continuing professional development outside the school day 
  • actions to provide initial teacher training as part of the normal service 
  • joining in out-of-school hours learning activity (as agreed between the teacher and the senior manager) 
  • additional actions helping to raise educational standards to one or more schools 

This does not apply to headteachers appointed either permanently or temporarily. 

Senior managers can choose an hourly rate for this work which can be: 

  • an hourly rate as per short notice or supply teachers 
  • a flat rate payment in line with the responsibility and commitment 

Under no circumstances can they make an honorarium payment to a teacher.
