The basis for the payment of a supply teacher (other than for teachers engaged by an agency) should be the correct point on the relevant national salary scales. This is determined in the same way as for all other teachers, and supply teachers employed in this way have the same access to allowances, such as SEN allowances, threshold progression and the TPS.

Supply teachers employed by an agency (not by the LA or school) are not covered by the provisions of these pay and conditions agreements. The agency will determine the pay rate for these teachers.

Supply Teachers and the National Agreement

The national agreement emphasises the important role of supply teachers and the unique value of their contribution. The agreement created two new posts to cover short-term absences (as opposed to more long-term periods such as maternity cover): cover supervisor and higher level teaching assistant.

Daily pay rates for supply teachers from 1 September 2023

The table below sets out the daily rates for supply teachers employed by local authorities or schools at each STPCD pay scale point, calculated on the basis of 1/195 of the appropriate full-time pay rate.

They are provided for guidance for those employed directly in schools (while academies are not subject to the STPCD, the NEU recommends the same pay rates should be paid by academies). They also serve as an indication of the gap between agency pay rates and those that would apply if teachers did not have to work via agencies.
