It is a condition of membership that IAPS schools should pay teachers at least in accordance with the national pay scales, taking into account any benefits in kind. Teachers must have access to the national Teachers Pensions scheme, or the IAPS pension scheme, or another acceptable scheme.
Many schools have their own pay policies and teachers in these schools should make sure that they have a copy and understand how it works.
IAPS schools employ many Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) and most schools participate in a government approved induction scheme.
Therefore NQTs can complete their induction period and so become eligible to work in the maintained sector at a later time in their careers.
As an NQT you will find that teaching groups in IAPS schools are small, the resource levels are good, and pay rates and benefits are normally better than in the maintained sector.
Teaching standards in IAPS schools are high and this is exemplified by the commitment to mentoring NQTs. However, before you accept a position as an NQT with an IAPS school you should confirm that it is operating the induction scheme offered by the Independent Schools Council Teacher Induction Panel or another government approved induction scheme.
The Independent Schools Council Teacher Induction Panel (ISCtip) was established in 1999 to provide statutory induction for Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) wishing to teach in the independent sector in England and Wales. You can find out more about ISCtip by clicking here.
Each year, IAPS and ISCtip run courses for experienced and inexperienced NQT tutors. Click here to visit our courses and conferences section.
