Footnotes
- Two new posts of school business professional and leadership non-teacher are reported for the first time in 2023/24. School business professionals include roles such as bursar, business manager, finance officer, office manager, premises manager or ICT network manager. Leadership non-teachers are members of the school's senior leadership team who are not reported in a teaching post. These new posts have displaced reporting from other posts, particularly administrative staff.
