Footnotes

1. Figures are based on information from the Teachers' Pensions Scheme and are first awards only. There is often a long gap, (deferment), between leaving service and a pension becoming payable. Therefore these figures will not agree with the retirements listed in the teacher wastage statistics which do not include these deferred awards.
2. Before using this data, please check the methodology section for important information such as definitions, limitations and caveats.
