FULL FUNDING OF TEACHERS' PAY AWARD

That this House calls on the Government to meet the full cost to schools of the pay increases to teachers announced by the Government in response to the recommendations of the School Teachers' Review Body; recognises that the vast majority of school budgets have faced real-terms budget cuts over the last three years, and that this has already placed a high amount of pressure on the budgets of schools across England; and welcomes the long over-due pay rise for teachers.
