TA salary

[ionising]

I live in a North Eastern market town. A few years ago I was a TA only level 3 so not a HLTA. I earnt 23k PA. level 2 salary was around 21k and Level 1 around 18k.

My friend down south says she earnt 12k as a TA. Really?

I thought it was meant to be grim up North.

I annotate planning for the teacher in the plenary session of a lesson. No paperwork needs to go home or be done outside of lesson time.

I'm a 1:1 TA on just over £10,000 a year

@Everoneiswingingit I work in the Foundation unit so covering age range of 2-5, Lots of re setting up and sourcing out resources, however there is also the daily reports and observations to write up print and file.

TA's in KS1& 2 are still here until 4:30 also.

I'm in yr1 and 2. No TA in the afternoon in that class at all.

Budget won't allow-small school.

DH is a primary TA. He works 4 days a week at L2 although he trained as a teacher and is a qualified l3 TA. He also works as a lunchtime supervisor 4 days a week. He has frequently run clubs in school (unpaid). He covers classes and does a lot if SEN interventions (at both ends if the scale). He brings home around £8k a year.

Have the rules changed re TAs taking classes solo? We weren't 'supposed to' when I did it.

I work in London and when I was a TA I was on £27 and now as a HLTA I'm on £35.

Wow Jessicabrassica personally I think his school is taking advantage of him, 8k a year for all that is ridiculous.

OP what is your hourly rate? Forgive me if already stated.

Was he asked to run those clubs jessica ?

Geek Do you mean £35k? Surely not, that's teacher pay territory isn't it?

Everyoneiswingingit Yap pro rata.

Don't know hourly rate as it was salaried.

Oh payslip just shows her yearly salary on the bottom.

If I was a teacher I'd be pretty miffed at TAs earning that amount.

I was for my NQT as I found it hard going.

If I was a teacher I'd be pretty miffed at TAs earning that amount.

Even taking into account the extra for working in the capital, 35k is a enormous wage for a TA. What wage are the teachers on, and what responsibilities do you have Geek?

Everyoneiswingingit Cool, but I'm worth every penny. :)

IceRebel I'm not going into the ins and outs of my job on the internet sorry but I do have some whole school responsibilities.

Quite Sausage. It’s why teaching pays less than other post grad jobs
Well yes and no. If you started out teaching in Luxembourg, on day one you would make about £60,00, rising to 80000. Scotland and the rest of the UK are not anywhere near the top paying countries for teachers. Teachers in higher paying countries have long holidays too.

TA here. I earn just under £10 per hour for 28 hours per week, 39 weeks term time plus whatever the legal miminum holiday allowance is. It is paid over 12 months. It works out to around £12000 p/a net. I've been in the role almost 20 years and am expected to plan and deliver my own interventions as well as training staff on a particular aspect of my work.
I seem to remember there was a strike or something involving TA pay, somewhere like Derbyshire, because the county council needed to reduce their TA pay. It turned out that they were being paid for 52 weeks, not the term time + holiday allowance that most of us get. Understandably they were up in arms about a pay reduction , but didn't seem to realise they had benefitted enormously over the years.
I've never heard of a TA, even an HLTA on the sort of salary OP has stated. It's one of the reasons why I've chosen to remain a TA, rather than applying for HLTA roles (I do have HLTA status) .

Now I’m moving to Luxembourg.... I speak fluent French too as an added bonus. Sadly DH says, despite agreeing it’s a fab country, he ain’t shifting☹️.

whichever pp said that she/he was paid to teach (as a TA) can you please clarify? I'm in Scotland and they are called PSAs here ( pupil support assistants) and whilst they do a phenomenal job and, I agree, are paid far too little ( which is why they are taking industrial action here as part of Unison on 23/24th Oct) they are not teachers and their job spec is nothing like a teacher.

Having worked in both Scotland and England - they are totally different.

@wildbhoysmama PSA's and Classroom Assistants are not the same as TA and HLTA's in England.

Which is just as well given how shitty their pay is for what they do already!

I've worked as a Ta in the north and the pay was nowhere near 23k.

I know a few TA in the north. None warn anything like that.
