We understand that you will have invested time, energy and effort into the training provided in the 2020 to 2021 academic year, and given that you may have completed this training recently we will not be making you complete it again.
All degree-holding Academic Mentors who are eligible for the salary increase, will see this reflected in pay checks from 1st April 2022.
The NTP team will make contact with your school to ensure they are aware of the salary increase and ensure you are remunerated if you are eligible for the increase. Academic Mentors with a Degree or QTS should receive a salary based on a Full Time Equivalent of £21,000 for working a full Academic Year 1st September to 31 August. The actual salary for each Academic Mentor should be prorated (if working part time) against a full-time teacher contract for a full Academic Year of £21,000. Schools can claim £18,050 to £19,950 (dependent on qualifications) in salary subsidy for each Academic Mentor.
