TDA bonus scheme for teachers in challenging schools

1 min read Education
Teachers willing to work in England's most challenging schools could be eligible for a 10,000 bonus over three years under a new government scheme.

The Training and Development Agency for Schools (TDA) announced the programme today (8 June), along with research showing the impact of good teachers on pupils in challenging schools, which includes those where 30 per cent or fewer students gain five A-C grades at GSCE.

One in three people said inspirational teachers had helped to improve their employment prospects and pay, while almost the same proportion said their self-esteem improved because of a teacher. A quarter also said a teacher had inspired a love of learning.

As well as the £10,000 allowance, available for three years' service, teachers joining or transferring to challenging schools will be eligible for tailored training and possible early access to a new Masters in Teaching and Learning.
