Mr. Jenkins: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what the pay scale was of a qualified teacher with seven years experience in each year since 1996. [148819]

Spine point | Annual salary England and Wales (excluding the London area) | ||
Pay spine A (until 30 November) | Pay Spine B (from 1 December) | ||
The table reflects the structural changes to teachers' pay over the years in question, including the introduction of the upper pay scale in 2000, and assumes a rate of progression achieved by the majority of classroom teachers. Some teachers could have progressed to higher pay levels due to excellent performance or relevant previous experience attracting a higher starting point, or may have moved to the Advanced Skills Teacher or Leadership Group spines. The figures are based on the pay rates for England and Wales. Pay rates are higher for the London area. The figures do not include the additional pay teachers may receive which currently include:
Teaching and Learning Responsibility paymentswhich currently range from £2,306 to £11,275.
Special Educational Needs allowancescurrently £1,818 or £3,597.
Recruitment and retention incentives and benefitsas approved by the governing body or local authority.
Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what the average salary was of (a) a primary school teacher, (b) a primary school head teacher, (c) a secondary school teacher and (d) a secondary school head teacher in (i) cash terms and (ii) real terms in each year since 1995; and if he will make a statement. [149061]
Jim Knight: The following table shows the average salary of nursery, primary and secondary classroom and head teachers in each March between 1995 and 2005, the latest year available. The figures are given in cash terms and adjusted for inflation using the HM Treasury GDP deflator.

Mr. Jenkins: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what the pay scales for a newly qualified teacher were in each year since 1996. [149268]
Jim Knight: The minimum pay rate for full-time newly-qualified classroom teachers, in each year since 1996, is set out in the following tables:
Spine p oint | Annual s alary England and Wales (excluding the London area) (£) | ||
Pay s pine A ( u ntil 30 November) | Pay s pine B ( f rom 1 December) | ||
Scale point | Annual salary England and Wales (excluding the London area) (£) | ||
Pay spine A (until 30 November) | Pay spine B (from 1 December) | ||
Annual salary England and Wales (excluding the London area) (£) | |||
Scale point | From 1 April 2002 | From 1 September 2002 | |
The table reflects the structural changes to teachers' pay over the years in question, including the shortening of the pay scale and assimilation to the new shortened pay scale in 2002. It assumes that all newly-qualified classroom teachers started on the lowest point of the pay scale, though until September 2002 all newly-qualified teachers would have started above the minimum point if they had a good honours degree. In addition, those with relevant previous experience may receive one or more additional points. The figures are based on the pay rates for England and Wales. Pay rates are higher for the London area. No allowances or incentives are included.
Mr. Jenkins: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what assessment he has made of the effect on the educational attainment of pupils of being taught by teachers who have no formal qualification in the subject they are teaching; and how many such teachers there are, broken down by (a) region and (b) subject. [148698]
Jim Knight: No assessment has been made of the effect on the educational attainment of pupils of being taught by teachers who have no formal qualifications in the subjects they are teaching.
The following table shows the number of teachers teaching each subject and their highest post A-level qualification in that subject. For example, it shows that in November 2002 an estimated 28,200 teachers were teaching maths and, of these, between 22 per cent. and 26 per cent. held no post A-level qualification in maths. The same information is not available by region.
