Golden Hello: Proposed end date for claims

We want to identify a suitable end date for eligible teachers to submit outstanding Golden Hello claims to academies or LEAs in England.

The main points we considered were that:

• there has been a 99% reduction in Golden Hello payments over the last 4 financial years
• historical claims suggest the vast majority of eligible teachers have already successfully claimed
• those still eligible would have reasonable opportunity to submit their claim before the proposed end date

This does not impact the Teaching Grant scheme in Wales.
