# The Remuneration of Teachers (Primary and Secondary Education) (Amendment) Order 1987

S.I. 1987/137 · made 4 February 1987

This Order amends, with effect from 1st April 1985 (Schedule 2) and 1st April 1986 (Schedule 3) the provisions contained in the document setting out the scales and other provisions for determining the remuneration of teachers in primary and secondary schools maintained by local education authorities and certain other teachers employed by such authorities. This document, entitled “Scales of Salaries for Teachers: Primary and Secondary Education, England and Wales 1983”, which has been amended by the Orders listed in Schedule 1, is published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office and may be obtained from Government Bookshops and through booksellers. The Order gives effect to recommendations of the appropriate Burnham Committee under section 2 of the Remuneration of Teachers Act 1965 and revokes two earlier amending Orders that are now spent. The increase in the Fringe Area allowance (section 12(4)) renders unnecessary the special provision for certain teachers in certain parts of that area and section 12(3) is accordingly deleted with effect from 1st April 1985.

EDUCATION, ENGLAND AND WALES

Coming into force 17th February 1987
WHEREAS:
(1) in pursuance of section 2(2) of the Remuneration of Teachers Act 1965 (“the Act”), the Committee constituted under section 1 of the Act for the purpose of considering the remuneration payable to teachers in primary and secondary schools maintained by local education authorities and to other persons employed by such authorities as teachers in the provision of primary and secondary education (except teachers in an establishment maintained by a local authority in the exercise of a social services function) (“the Committee”) have transmitted to the Secretary of State for Education and Science (“the Secretary of State”) recommendations agreed on by them with respect to the remuneration of such teachers (“primary and secondary education teachers”);
(2) there are in force Orders made under sections 2(4) and (6) of the Act with respect to the remuneration of the teachers in question, such Orders being those specified in Schedule 1 to this Order;
(3) it appears to the Secretary of State that effect can most conveniently be given to the recommendations of the Committee by amending the scales and other provisions set out in the document referred to in the said Orders, namely the document published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office on 7th October 1983 under the title “Scales of Salaries for Teachers: Primary and Secondary Education, England and Wales 1983” (“the 1983 Document”), as amended by the said Orders;
(4) in pursuance of section 2(5) of the Act, the Secretary of State has prepared a draft Order setting out the amendments to the 1983 Document which, in his opinion, are requisite for giving effect to the recommendations of the Committee, and
(5) the Secretary of State, as required by section 2(6) of the Act, has consulted the Committee with respect to the draft Order and the Committee have made no representations with respect thereto:
Now, therefore, the Secretary of State, in pursuance of sections 2(6) and 7(3) of the Act, hereby makes the following Order, which is in the form of the draft:

## 1 

(1) This Order may be cited as the Remuneration of Teachers (Primary and Secondary Education) (Amendment) Order 1987.
(2) This Order shall come into force on 17th February 1987.

## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends, with effect from 1st April 1985 (Schedule 2) and 1st April 1986 (Schedule 3) the provisions contained in the document setting out the scales and other provisions for determining the remuneration of teachers in primary and secondary schools maintained by local education authorities and certain other teachers employed by such authorities. This document, entitled “Scales of Salaries for Teachers: Primary and Secondary Education, England and Wales 1983”, which has been amended by the Orders listed in Schedule 1, is published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office and may be obtained from Government Bookshops and through booksellers. The Order gives effect to recommendations of the appropriate Burnham Committee under section 2 of the Remuneration of Teachers Act 1965 and revokes two earlier amending Orders that are now spent. The increase in the Fringe Area allowance (section 12(4)) renders unnecessary the special provision for certain teachers in certain parts of that area and section 12(3) is accordingly deleted with effect from 1st April 1985.
The retrospective effect of the Order is authorised by section 7(3) of the Act.
