Details of Request

I am making a request under the Freedom of Information Act.

Last year, we asked every multi academy trust in the country if they paid in line with national pay scales for 2023-24. We are asking every trust classified as a MAT on Get Information About Schools that has at least one school. We are doing a follow up story to last year’s, and would like to ask:

1. Did your trust pay in line with national teacher pay scales for 2024-25? If not, what percentage above or below national pay scales were you for 2024-25?
2. Does your trust intend to pay in line with national teacher pay scales for 2025-26? If not, what percentage above or below national pay scales will you be for 2025-26?
3. Do you offer the same maternity pay across all the trust’s schools?
4. What is your maternity pay offer at each school in the trust?
