Explanatory note

This Order provides that lump sum payments paid under the three schemes mentioned in article 2(2) to school teachers in England are not treated as remuneration for the purpose of section 122(1) of the Education Act 2002 and so are not subject to the statutory pay framework and are not pensionable.

This Order revokes the School Teachers' Incentive Payments (England) Order 2018 which referred to payments made by local authorities and governing bodies of schools. This Order replaces that Order because the maker of the intended payments will now be the Secretary of State and not local authorities and governing bodies of schools and this Order makes the appropriate provision.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on business or civil society organisations. The instrument has minimal impact on the public sector.
