Gender Pay Gap Statement

In the UK, public, private and voluntary sector organisations with 250 or more employees are
required to report on their gender pay gaps annually, and the Congregation is now required
to report for the first time. The report shows the difference between the average earnings of
men and women, expressed relative to men’s earnings. Employers must report six different
measures, based on a snapshot of pay data on a date set out by the Government Equalities
Office:
• median gender pay gap – the difference between the median hourly rate of pay of male full-
pay relevant employees and that of female full-pay relevant employees
• mean gender pay gap – the difference between the mean hourly rate of pay of male full-
pay relevant employees and that of female full-pay relevant employees
• median bonus gap – the difference between the median bonus pay paid to male relevant
employees and that paid to female relevant employees
• mean bonus gap – the difference between the mean bonus pay paid to male relevant
employees and that paid to female relevant employees
• bonus proportions – the proportions of male and female relevant employees who were paid
bonus pay during the relevant period
• quartile pay bands – the proportions of male and female full-pay relevant employees in the
lower, lower middle, upper-middle and upper quartile pay bands
This report covers the 2023–24 reporting cycle, using a snapshot date of 5 April 2023.
The Congregation has clear salary ranges in place for all job roles which ensures that
everyone is paid fairly for undertaking the same or a similar role.

Our median gender pay gap
To calculate our median gender pay gap, we first rank all our people by their hourly pay.
Then we compare what the woman in the middle of the female pay range received with what
the man in the middle of the male pay range received. The difference between these figures
is the median gender pay gap.
The difference in our median pay for women and men

Men Women Pay Gap
Median hourly pay £12.80 £12.80 -0.00%

The woman in the middle of the male pay range received the same as the man in the middle
of the male pay range and there is no median gender pay gap. The median pay rates for
men and women are equal.
Our mean gender pay gap
To calculate the mean pay gap, we add together all the hourly pay rates that women
received, divided by the number of women in our workforce. We then repeat this calculation
for men. The difference between these figures is the mean gender pay gap.
The difference in our mean pay for women and men

Men Women Pay Gap
Mean hourly pay £14.26 £15.02 -5.31%
The average pay for women was 5.31% more per hour than the average pay for men. This
gap means that for every £1 a man received, a woman received £1.05p. This is
because our institutions have more women than men employed including those in senior
roles and it is the senior roles which have an impact on our mean gender pay gap.
Our bonus pay gap
There were no bonus’ paid in the year.
