Supporting Statement
The Gender Pay Gap is a high level, non-adjusted indicator of male and female earnings which is affected by workforce distribution and workforce make-up.
In common with many organisations within the education sector, the significant majority of the Trust’s workforce is female. This is particularly the case in primary phase education nationally; six of the Trust’s seven academies fall into this phase of education.
The staff breakdown for the period is:
DCAT is committed to the promotion of equality of opportunity and choice for employees and supports the fair treatment of all staff irrespective of gender through our transparent recruitment processes, pay policy and professional development.
All our teaching and support posts are aligned to nationally agreed pay scales and our male and female staff are paid within the same pay band for the same job role.
A significant number of female staff are employed in education support roles, including Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Assistants and Midday Meals Supervisors. These roles are predominantly in the lower and lower middle quartiles.
A greater number of males are employed in roles within the upper middle and upper quartiles; these roles typically include more senior support roles and teaching roles, including leadership roles.
