Threshold Round 11
Further to MI 226/10, clarification has been received from the Department for Education on Threshold Round 11 guidance and please note their response:
"There is currently no new non-statutory guidance at present on Round 11 of Threshold. The Department is reviewing all of its non-statutory guidance, but the Department's Round 10 guidance and Section 3 of the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document 2010 contains the key material that will be relevant for any Round 11 applicants as the threshold process has not changed. Teachers successful in their applications in Round 11 will move to the upper pay scale with effect from 1 September 2011 (except as provided for in paragraphs 19.4.2, 19.4.3 or 19.4.4 of the Document).
The Round 10 guidance and the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document 2010 are available through the Department's website.
Applicants in Round 11 in England also have until 31 October 2011 to apply and until 31 August 2011 if they are employed in Wales. There is no financial advantage in applying early. The national standards for assessment are the same as in previous rounds. In order to be eligible to be assessed against the post-threshold standards, teachers in England must:
be statutorily employed under the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document (STPCD) ; and
be paid on point M6 of the pay scale for qualified classroom teachers; and
have Qualified Teacher Status.
Only one request for assessment may be made in any round. A request to be assessed against the post-threshold standards is an elective process and entirely a matter of choice for individuals. Teachers are responsible for requesting an assessment and they must submit a request in writing to the Headteacher at the school where they are employed to teach as in previous rounds of Threshold."
