Footnotes
- This release shows data for further education providers in England. The location that a provider is based in has been determined from the main site/head office recorded in the Individualised Learner Record (ILR) database in the Department for Education. This records the main site only and may not cover all locations or regions that a provider operates.
- Management roles may include some teaching staff with additional responsibilities, or some managers of staff in support or admin roles. The types of managers may differ across provider types and this could drive differences in management staff pay across provider types.
- For private sector public funded providers and other public funded providers, the London region has the lowest proportion of providers returning data. However London is the region with the most number of these providers. Therefore our estimate of median salary based on the responding colleges for these provider types will be proportionally skewed by the other regions where pay bands are often lower.
- Mean and median salary figures shown are estimates from the providers that returned data to the further education workforce data collection. We have not attempted to estimate the salaries for staff in the providers who did not return data.
- Where data shows 'z', this indicates data is not applicable, 'c' indicates data is suppressed and 'u' indicates an estimate of an average is not possible due to too few staff in the sample.
- Management roles may include some teaching staff with additional responsibilities, or some managers of staff in support or admin roles. The types or number of managers may differ across provider types.
