PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Schools: Wandsworth (25 November 2021)

Information on the numbers and rates of qualified teachers entering and leaving state-funded schools in England is published in the ‘School Workforce in England’ statistical publication at: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-workforce-in-england. In state-funded schools in England, between November 2019 and November 2020 (the latest two years of data available), the full time equivalent of one in ten teachers (9.7%) were new entrants to teaching, while under one in ten teachers (7.8%) left the profession.

Between November 2019 and November 2020 in Wandsworth schools specifically, the full time equivalent of one in ten teachers (11.7%) were new entrants to teaching, while one in ten teachers (11.1%) left the profession. Please note that these figures have been compiled by breaking down national entrant and leaver figures sub-nationally, although this level of breakdown is not published, and the methodology is not exact.

Staff, including teachers, turnover figures for individual schools are not centrally calculated and would incur disproportionate cost to compile. Similarly, entrant and leaver figures of support staff are not routinely calculated and would also incur disproportionate cost to compile.
