Subscribers are able to view the report, which includes data on: the mean, median and distribution of the pay gap, the difference between school phases (primary vs secondary), the proportion of men/women in each pay band and more to help employers with gender pay gap bench marking.

  • Apprenticeships in the academies sector

In 2019, 60 MATS completed a short questionnaire made by Employer Link in collaboration with the Academies Enterprise Trust.  The questionnaire provides useful information about MATs apprenticeships since the introduction of the levy.
