Teaching in United Kingdom

The United Kingdom school system
England operates a national curriculum across Key Stages 1–4. Most schools are state-maintained academies or local authority schools, inspected by Ofsted and rated Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, or Inadequate. A significant independent sector exists alongside, including prep, senior day, and boarding schools.
Roles and salaries
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) is required for state school roles in England. The main pay range runs from £31,650 to £43,607, with the Upper Pay Range reaching £50,471. London and fringe areas attract allowances up to £9,167. Senior and leadership roles progress through the Leadership pay range. Experience increments apply annually.
Working here. What to know
UK nationals and those with settled or pre-settled status work freely. Overseas teachers typically need a Skilled Worker visa sponsored by the school. International Qualified Teacher Status (iQTS) allows overseas-trained teachers to gain QTS without first teaching in England. A significant pathway for international applicants.
