Dear Headteacher

PERFORMANCE PAY PROGRESSION 2003/04

You will recall receiving, in November 2003, a pack containing information and claim forms relating to salary support grants.

One form included in the pack (referenced PPP4) was to claim 60% grant towards the cost of a performance point awarded to teachers on the leadership scale in the 2003/04 academic year. The grant could be claimed for Headteachers, Deputy Headteachers and Assistant Headteachers provided that they did not receive a performance point in the 2002/03 academic year (a point awarded in the 2002/03 academic year continues to be covered by the PPP3 grant).

The deadline for submitting the PPP4 form to me was 31 December 2003.

The DfES have now offered a further opportunity for schools to submit a PPP4 form where, because of their performance review cycle, they were unable to submit a form to meet the 31 December deadline.

I enclose a PPP4 form, identical to the one sent last term. If you missed the original deadline for claiming this grant and would now like to claim, or have additions to make to your original claim, you are invited to return the attached form to me by 2 April 2004.

The PPP4 forms sent to the DfES after the 31 December deadline are currently being processed but it would now seem likely that the 2003/04 grant will be paid in 2004/05.

Please ensure that teachers on the leadership scale who received a performance point in the 2002/03 academic year are not included on this form.

If you have any queries, please contact me on the above number

Yours sincerely

Kim Robertson

Principal Finance Officer
