A pay rise of 6.5% has been accepted by a major teaching union.

Members of the National Education Union (NEU) voted to accept the deal, which was made based on recommendations by the independent School Teachers’ Review Body.

The NEU had advised its members to accept the deal, which also includes an extra £900m in funding for schools per year.

Earlier this month, NEU members held industrial action – forcing many schools to close entirely or reduce the number of classes held.
