School leaders' union members have majorly rejected the Conservative Government's increased pay offer - as dispute continues over compensation for teaching staff.
Overall, nine in ten members of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) snubbed the proposed deal during an online consultative ballot - with almost four in five (78 per cent) prepared to vote for industrial action should an offer be rejected.
The union's executive now prepare to meet to discuss and agree on the next steps, which could include holding a second ballot on subsequent strikes.
