Ending Performance Related Pay for teachers?

[Thisismynewusernamedoyoulikeit]

I read an article about possibly ending PRP in 2024-25.

Does anyone know what the implications of this would be? I'm guessing it's a no one knows situation, but I'm stressing out as I was expecting a rise to UPS next academic year and have been collating evidence. But what if they scrap it?

Is it another stealth way of fucking over experienced teachers? Or could it be a genuine positive?

It depends what they mean by performance related pay. Do they mean no target setting or no pay related to exam results?
My school still has targets we need to meet to get a pay rise but we decide our own targets and it's to do with our growth as a teacher and how effective we are as a practitioner e.g. to improve questioning. We are given time to research and collaborate and evidence is just lesson resources and our 1 observation we get a year. I don't see a problem with this. A friend's target at another school is based on the attendance figure of her form group, which just seems bizarre to me.

Before it was pay related, you just automatically progressed. You did still have to provide evidence towards ups but not data/performance related.
it worked before. As the wife of someone who was refused progression for years because of ridiculous data targets in a deprived ward, I think it’s a good thing if it reverts back.

Doesn’t it just mean that your progression won’t be linked to your students’ results any more?
We moved away from that a few years ago anyway and have different targets we have to meet to make progress.
You would presumably still have to apply to go through UPS as you have to evidence whole school impact (or take on something that does that), or at least you do where we are.
