Methodology: medians reconcile live advertised UK salaries for this role and region; 25th–75th percentiles are shown only where at least 5 live salaried listings back them. They are measured or omitted, never interpolated. Rows marked indicative are anchored to our curated 2026 baseline ranges until enough live data accrues. Listings advertising an implausible annual figure (a mislabelled hourly or daily rate) are excluded rather than converted, because converting one means guessing the hours behind it.

Market view. QTS and the pay-portability of your point on the main/upper pay range drive salaried roles; TLR allowances and SENCo responsibilities add on top. Daily-supply work is paid to scale or a daily rate (commonly £120–£220) which annualises differently from the ranges above.
