Footnotes
- Percentage of those who achieved QTS teaching in a state-funded school is the percentage of trainees who achieved QTS who are employed in a state-funded school in England within 16 months of the academic year end. For 2024/25, employment rate figures are provisional (uplifted), all prior years are revised.
- Other subject includes general sciences, media & communication studies, psychology and social sciences.
- Trainees who did not achieve QTS are those who ended their training during the year and either left the course before the end (excluding those who left the course within 90 days of the start) or did not meet the standards.
- Teaching in a state-funded school is the number of trainees registered as employed in a state-funded school in England within 16 months of the academic year end. For 2024/25, figures are provisional (uplifted), previous years are revised. Due to rounding in the uplift process, the sum of constituent parts may differ from the reported total. See methodology for further details.
- Only trainees who have course outcomes are included, see methodology for further details.
- This publication was produced using data extracted from the Register Trainee Teachers service from the academic year of 2021/22 onwards. This is a move from the previous data source, DTTP (Database of Teacher Training Providers). See methodology for further details.
- Warning: percentages have been rounded and therefore may not sum to 100%.
- Data from 2019/20 onwards include "self-funded" trainees, who had been excluded from historic releases of these statistics prior to the 2023/24 release. These are trainees where the accredited provider has indicated they are not eligible for UK funding. Numbers and percentages do not match historic publications prior to 2023/24. Care should be taken when comparing numbers of trainees from before 2019/20. See methodology for further detail.
- Nationality comes under the protected characteristic of race and therefore has been suppressed in line with our suppression policy. See methodology for further information.
