Footnotes

  1. Percentages have been rounded and therefore may not sum to 100%.
  2. Figures for 2024/25 are provisional and are subject to change. Figures for 2023/24 and all previous years have been revised.
  3. Troops to Teachers are excluded from all figures prior to 2021/22.
  4. Ethnicity: Data is based on known cases and exclude those where ethnicity is unknown or not declared, therefore please consider the impact of the number of unknowns when considering data trends.
  5. Other ethnicity includes Arab and Other ethnic background.
  6. Proportions exclude trainees where information was not supplied, or where characteristics/information were reported as ‘unknown’.
  7. Data was extracted on 19 November 2024.
  8. Numbers for entrants are slightly decreased for 2024/25. This is because records for approximately 100 trainees from a provider were not submitted in time for inclusion in these statistics. We intend to update the figures to include these trainees in an amendment in early 2025.
