School leaders vote overwhelmingly to reject the government’s ‘inadequate and unaffordable’ pay offer

NAHT members in England have voted overwhelmingly to reject the offer put forward by the government on teacher pay. The union closed its online consultative ballot at 5pm on Tuesday 4 April, just a week after it opened.

  • 64% of its eligible membership responded, with 90% of them voting to reject the offer.
  • 92% said the offer was unaffordable, saying they did not have the headroom in their budget to be able to afford the proposed pay offer for the next academic year (2023/24).
     

NAHT’s national executive will now meet to discuss next steps, including a formal ballot on industrial action.
