Model MPS to UPS Letter Template with UPS Evidence Checklist Bundle

Created by a Headteacher to actively support Main Pay Scale Teachers deservedly and successfully progress to the Upper Pay Scale

Applying for the Upper Pay Scale can feel quite daunting: you know you’re doing great work, but turning that into a compelling, evidence-backed case is a different skill entirely. This bundle takes the stress out of the process.

The UPS Evidence Checklist walks you through exactly what panels are looking for — sustained high-quality teaching and significant contribution beyond your own classroom — so you gather the right proof, in the right categories, well before your deadline. No more scrambling for evidence the week before submission.

The Model Application Letter shows you how to turn that evidence into a persuasive, professional case. Every section is mapped to the STPCD criteria, with model language you can adapt and clear placeholders showing exactly where your own examples and data belong.

Together, they give you a complete, structured toolkit — used side by side, checklist to letter — designed to help you present your strongest possible case the first time round.

Both documents are editable MS Word documents.
