EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order makes provision for the determination of the remuneration of school teachers (within the meaning of section 122 of the Education Act 2002 (c. 32)) in Wales and other conditions of employment of school teachers in Wales which relate to their professional duties and working time.

The Order makes this provision by reference to section 2 of a document entitled “School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions (Wales) Document 2022 and guidance on school teachers’ pay and conditions (revised) – April 2023” (“the Document”). It can be found on the Welsh Government website: https://gov.wales/teaching-and-leadership.

The Order makes retrospective provision, under section 123(3) of the Education Act 2002, to provide that the provisions set out in section 2 of the Document have effect on and after 1 September 2022 notwithstanding that the Order comes into force after that date (article 2).

The Order revokes the School Teachers’ Pay and Conditions Order (Wales) 2022 (article 3) and replaces the remuneration and other conditions of employment of school teachers in Wales given effect by that Order.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. As a result, a regulatory impact assessment has been prepared as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this Order. A copy can be obtained from the Workforce Strategy Unit, Schools Effectiveness Division, Welsh Government, Cathays Park, Cardiff, CF10 3NQ.
