Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order refers to a document entitled "School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document 1988" published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office, which is obtainable from Government bookshops and through booksellers. The Order, which comes into force on 8th July 1988, directs that the provisions set out in the Document shall have effect, except for the rates of the London Area allowances, from the 1st April 1988 for the purpose of determining the remuneration of school teachers in England and Wales. The rates of the London Area allowances have effect from 1st July 1987. By virtue of section 3(6)(a) of the Teachers' Pay and Conditions Act 1987, the remuneration of teachers to whom the Order applies is to be determined, and paid to teachers by local education authorities, in accordance with the scales and other provisions set out in the Document.

The provisions of the Document relating to other conditions of employment have effect from 8th July 1988. By virtue of section 3(6)(b) of the Act, these provisions have effect as terms of the contract of employment of teachers to whom the Order applies. They are the same as those in the School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document 1987 (ISBN 0 11 270629 0).

The Order contains a statement that it gives effect without any material modification to recommendations of the Interim Advisory Committee on School Teachers' Pay and Conditions and consequently, by virtue of section 3(2) of the said Act of 1987, the Order is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.

The retrospective effect of the Order as regards remuneration is authorised by section 3(5)(f) of the Teachers' Pay and Conditions Act 1987.

The Order revokes the Education (School Teachers' Pay and Conditions) Order 1987.
