England FE pay claim 2026/27

31 March 2026

UCU has reached agreement with the other further education trade unions (GMB, NEU, Unite and Unison) on this year's joint Further Education (FE) trade unions' pay claim (2026/27) and it has been submitted to the Association of Colleges (AoC).

You can find the claim here: Joint union FE England claim 26-27 [335kb]

The claim is built on the core demands in the New Deal for FE campaign:

  • FE pay parity with schoolteachers' pay
  • national workload agreements
  • sector level fully funded and binding national bargaining.

Talks under the National Joint Forum (NJF) will take place in June and July. Please look out for updates as the talks progress.
