Yorkshire bursar salary

A Yorkshire bursar in 2025/26 typically sits four to six percent below the national base on ONS ASHE. The region has well-established multi-academy trusts in Leeds, Sheffield and the East Riding, and a respected cluster of independent schools across Harrogate, York and Leeds.

The band

ONS ASHE shows Yorkshire sitting modestly below the national median, with school bursar bands tracking that pattern. NJC Green Book scale points apply across maintained schools in the region.[1]

MAT cluster

Leeds and Sheffield account for several mid-sized MATs. CFO posts at those trusts sit within the MAT CFO band described on the dedicated academy-trust page. ISBA's regional sample for Yorkshire is smaller than for the South East, so quoted independent bands are correspondingly wider.[2]

State-maintained context

Maintained schools in Yorkshire follow the local authority's grading map and the LGPS pension scheme. Settlement timing follows the national NJC cycle.[3]
