Most teachers who have posted have also clearly stated they are in leadership roles. Several have also mentioned being in London, which pays more (or even different countries. Australia clearly pay their teachers significantly more than we do, for example).
The wages paid to senior leaders significantly bumps up the average 'teacher' wage. I write 'teacher' like that, as most people on such a wage will not be full time classroom based. Obviously they're still teachers, but not in the role which most people picture when they think about the teaching profession (ie the person at the front of the class, teaching the children day in day out).
The wage for Main Pay Scale 6 (the highest level of experience before taking on additional responsibilities, so your bog standard classroom teacher) is £43,607. This reflects the recent pay increase. Last year it was 41,333. Teachers don't automatically move up through the pay scales anymore so many remain stuck on MPS 6 indefinitely, as it's being made more and more difficult to go through threshold and move onto the upper pay scale. Even leading major subjects, such as English or maths, doesn't automatically come with a TLR bonus in every school. It varies from school to school.
Many experienced teachers are struggling to get by in the cost of living crisis, especially single teachers who only have the one household wage. Of course it's all relative. Compared to many, it will be seen as a decent wage. It's hardly 'good' though, when you consider the amount of work and responsibility which goes into such a role. The wage is spread over 12 months. We don't get paid for the holidays, we simply get paid during them. The holidays are a massive perk of the job, but we're not paid to sit on our backsides doing nothing for 13 weeks of the year! Our monthly pay is significantly less than the hourly rate, to ensure we are still paid in August when we are off work. We're contracted for 39 weeks, paid for 52.
As I said, it's all relative. I'm certainly not complaining about my wage. It says something though when teachers and nurses appear to be among the lowest paid of people responding to this thread. Obviously loads of people in society earn significantly less but, considering the role they have and the responsibilities involved, teachers and nurses are really not well paid.
