- Subject: The subject given here is ITT subject and may not be the same as the subject of the undergraduate degree held.

- Troops to Teachers are excluded from all figures prior to 2021/22.
- Data from 2021/22 does not contain forecast trainees, this is due to a change in data collection methodology.
- Modern Foreign Languages: here includes classics.
- Other subject: here includes a different mix of subjects to the main targets by subject table, this is for consistency with historic teacher supply model groupings; Other includes Drama from 2014/15 and Citizenship from 2015/16.
- Undergraduate: The majority of undergraduate provision is offered by higher education institutions.
- Proportions exclude trainees where information was not supplied, or where characteristics/information were reported as ‘unknown’.
- Primary: Prior to 2018/19, a small number of Primary trainees on subject specialist courses were reported against their subject specialism and were included in Total Secondary. From 2018/19, they are reported as Primary.
- Data was extracted on 19 November 2024.
- 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.
