Annual Income
Figures are intended as a guideline only.
The unqualified teachers' pay scale ranges from £14,391 to £22,761(£18,099 to £26,466 in Inner London).
If you are accepted for training on the Graduate Teacher Programme (GTP) or the Registered Teacher Programme (RTP) the school will have discretion to pay you as a qualified teacher.
The main salary scale ranges from £19,641 to £28,707 (£23,577 to £32,820 in inner London).
Teachers who reach the top of the main scale may apply to be assessed to progress to the upper pay scale. This ranges from £31,098 to £33,444 (£36,885 to £40,002 in inner London).
Teachers of special needs students may receive extra allowances.

Mouse get real!!!
I've been a primary teacher for 11 yrs and definitely don't earn more than £30K!!
An 'average' teacher - no responsibilities starts on M1 upto M6 over a number of years. I think starting wage is about £18K progressing to about £25K. You can earn more by going through the 'threshold'. Some schools will pay more for co-ordinators roles ie literacy, SEN, maths etc, but that is school choice, not compulsory! Our school is so small we all have several roles but no extra pay.
I think only London teachers get 'allowance' pay because of the cost of living - everyone else gets the same.

Where was your training done? I taught in South London but because I was trained in New Zealand and Canada I was only paid 18K per year, which is rubbish since UK trained teachers were earning twice that. There is a way to become UK certified which involves spending a year doing what amounts to a practicum though how much you have to do depends on the experience you already have (it was my first year teaching). This was in 2000 so things may have changed.
It also depends on whether you teach at a state or public school.

Hi I work in a school, Primary School is really nice.
It depends how high you go - ie how much responsibility you have - e.g. you may be a teacher but also the co-ordinator for literacy.
Check out http://www.canteach.gov.uk and http://www.tda.gov.uk/Recruit/lifeasateacher/payandbenefits.aspx
you'll likely (once qualified and have been teaching for a year) be on 20-29 k a year.
Fill out the form on the website and you'll receive an information pack and The Ruler magazine - both of which are really informative!
