There is no pay scale for GPs. The pay ranges as set by the DDRB are outlined below. Note that although the pay range in England goes up to 93,965, there is no upper limit. Your salary reflects your level of responsibility, qualifications and experience (5).

I used to know a head mistress at a school who was on £80k a year a few years ago. I believe London based ones are in the £130k a year bracket

Not sure where those figures come from. A modern day police inspector will earn around the 55-60k salary and they are only two up the ladder. A senior officer to me is superintendent and above and a super will start at around 77k on point one which will hit about 85k at point 4. Chief constables get salaried by population of force areas but there won't be a cc on less than 140k with the Met commissioner getting just under 300k.
 
Councillors should be at the top of that list surely?

They must be way over 84k when you count their expenses in with it.
They also seem to have a habit of hiring 1-3 family members as part of their staff/aids whatever you want to call them.


Can you imagine how easy life must be when you can basically hire a team of people at your employers expense to do your job for you.

We have Pension admin Actuaries working for us, some of those guys are earning 6 figures.

Senior level Finance professionals are on £60k-£90k in London with directors and CFO's getting anywhere between £120k to £250k (depending on budgetary level and size of business their responsible for).
 
Even in a small council in Scotland head teachers are earning over 80k. I just checked a PTC for the maths department alone and it was 66k. Not bad considering you get 2 weeks off at Easter, 6-7 weeks off during summer. A week off in October and 2 weeks at Xmas. Plus a load of bank holiday Mondays.

Yeah, if the stress of teaching doesn't kill you first with so many leaving the profession.
