too much

£20K might sound like a lot to a newly qualified teacher who's been on student money for 4 years - but when you actually add the number of hours you'll be working .. you'll soon see that it's peanuts PLUS all the extra stuff teachers end up doing.
When I was an NQT I earned £17K but I was doing a 50-60 hour week depending on the time of year and busyness... even in the holidays I worked e.g. report writing, resource making and planning... it's a life choice not a job!
The hourly rate on that?? Not much!

Starting salary for an NQT (Newly Qualified Teacher) is around £20,000. TThis is MPS 1 (Main Pay Scale 1). This rises in increments according to how many years experience you have, by around £1,000 - £1,200 for the first few years. After getting to your threshold (Main Pay Scale 6) you can then go on to the UPS (Upper Pay Scale) as long as you meet the requirements and have had the results that say you are good enough for UPS.

Starting salary is just over £20000, that goes up each year as you climb the pay scale by about £1500 each year until just under £30000. After six years you can apply to cross the theshold which will mean you are on the upper salary scale and you will earn £31098. From then on you can get salary increases but they are harder to get, and you move up the pay scale about once every three years rather than once every year.

When you consider the benefits i.e. hours to suit a 5yr old child, no shift work, safe environment, 5 day week, lots of time off (holidays and sick ), good pension to name a few then they do not do too badly.

Jessica has it pretty much spot on - you get a little extra if you work in or on the outskirts of London, although this covers higher cost of living really!

Not enough for dealing with reluctant learners, foul mouthed parents, and a 120 hour week.
Holidays? What are they?

They do the most unpaid overtime in the country but get 20 weeks break to plan their lessons
