Warnings have emerged over a 'super league' of highly-paid academy trust chiefs with 98 now earning more than Boris Johnson's £158,000 salary.
An investigation by Schools Week analysed data from trust's accounts between 2019 and last year, finding that 29 bosses earned a minimum of £200,000.
It also discovered that 25 chiefs had pay rises equal to or over £15,000, with an overall 55 per cent receiving wage increases - triple the number of pay cuts.
The Harris Federation's Sir Dan Moynihan was named England's best paid trust chief executive with a salary of at least £455,000, followed by Sir Kevin Satchwell, the executive head of Thomas Telford School, with a minimum salary of £290,000.
