Sixth form colleges pay
Revised sixth form college teachers’ pay rates.
Teachers' pay and working conditions in sixth form colleges are decided in negotiations with the Sixth Form Colleges’ Association. The NEU leads the teachers’ side in the negotiations and campaigns for fair pay and working conditions in sixth form colleges. The NEU has members in more than 70 sixth form colleges in England.
Over the last four weeks teachers in sixth form colleges have been voting in their tens of thousands in our preliminary online ballot. Thank you to every single one of you who voted to demonstrate to the Government the strength of feeling among teachers on the issues of pay and funding for colleges.
We can now announce the results.
Overall turnout: 2,852 (67.3%)
Q1: Do you agree that you should receive an above-inflation pay rise for 2024-25?
YES: 95.8% NO: 4.2%
Q2: Would you vote “yes” to strike action for a fully funded, above-inflation pay rise that constitutes a meaningful step towards a long-term correction in pay, and further funding to provide improved levels of staffing provision in schools and education services?
YES: 88% NO: 12%
Our conference in Bournemouth noted the result and our network of reps in sixth form colleges will consider the next steps we’ll be taking, including a possible formal ballot, to fit the negotiating cycle with sixth form colleges.
We will be back in touch with you soon. Many thanks for your support. Together we will save our colleges.
