- Physical Education: includes dance.
- Subject: The subject given here is ITT subject and may not be the same as the subject of the undergraduate degree held.
- Figures for 2024/25 are provisional and are subject to change. Figures for 2023/24 and all previous years have been revised.
- Troops to Teachers are excluded from all figures prior to 2021/22.
- Sex other: Sex was previously reported as gender. This has been updated as it was previously mislabelled. From 2021/22, trainees who chose not to provide data on sex have been included in an 'unknown' category. Prior to this they were included in 'other'.
- Data from 2021/22 does not contain forecast trainees, this is due to a change in data collection methodology.
- 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’.
- 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.
