Well… P6 has a very wide range. If I'm not wrong, it includes a P6(H) - superscale (VP) level.

There are a fair number of school leaders who've never had a HQ posting - so clearly, CEP can be raised beyond P6 without a HQ posting. Just that the number of people privy to such details will be really small (school leaders only?); don't know if any of them would be commenting on this forum

These days, other professions have overtaken by leaps and bounds. Really not hard to find jobs which pay equal or better (provided that you know how to market yourself).

Nowadays, its also that many jobs in the private sector have at least 2-3 days work from home each week.

So its not just the pay comparison. For schools, not only do we not have work from home option, but they also even expect us to "dress up", aka no more jeans, from next year onwards.

There are many schools which

- no work on weekends
- generous protected time
- casual wear on all days
- flexible WFH on days / times with no lessons

Likely are exceptions rather than the norm. Not specified anywhere in any guidelines so it’s up to P’s discretion.

Was curious about how many PGS and PGAs get awarded every year? Heard they are really competitive

Teaching is a joke of a profession, only morons will take up such a job, which explains why most of my teachers were morons.
