Where is the scale for below L6? And does anyone know what the procedure is for pay rises on the leadership scale? I presume it

If the role is L6-L10, providing you have a successful performance management you should move up until L10.

Is the pay for a Deputy Head the same in a primary school as it is in an infant school, or does it increase like a Headteacher?

What options does a Governing Body have for paying a headteacher once they have reached the top of the school's pay scale?
