Percentage of those awarded QTS teaching in a state-funded school is the percentage of trainees awarded QTS who are employed in a state-funded school in England within 16 months of the academic year end. For 2022/23, employment rate figures are provisional (uplifted), all prior years are revised.
  2. School-led routes include all postgraduate routes except the Higher Education Institution route.
  3. High Potential ITT was formerly reported as Teach First.
  4. The postgraduate teaching apprenticeship (PGTA) was a new route introduced in 2018/19.
  5. Trainees who were not awarded 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.
  6. 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 2022/23, figures are provisional (uplifted), previous years are revised. Due to rounding, the sum of constituent parts may differ from the reported total. See methodology for further details.
  7. Only trainees who have course outcomes are included, see methodology for further details.
  8. This publication was produced using data extracted from the Register Trainee Teachers service from the academic year of 2021/22. This is a move from the previous data source, DTTP (Database of Teacher Training Providers). See methodology for further details.
