Footnotes

  1. Percentages exclude trainees where information was not supplied, or where characteristics were reported as ‘unknown’.
  2. Data was extracted on 14 November 2022.
  3. Design & Technology: includes food technology and engineering.
  4. Figures for 2022/23 are provisional and are subject to change. Figures for 2021/22 and all previous years have been revised.
  5. Postgraduate Teaching Apprenticeship: The postgraduate teaching apprenticeship (PGTA) was introduced in 2018/19.
  6. Due to a technical issue with the mapping of disability information into Register, disability data for 2022/23 includes a significantly larger proportion of unknowns than past years.  As the issue is impacting some disability categories more than others, the decision has been made to publish this data once the issue has been fixed. Disability data is therefore currently unavailable for 2022/23 but available for all other years.
  7. Other: includes media and communication studies, social studies, and psychology.
  8. Schools direct salaried: includes salaried programmes i.e. Future Teaching Scholars Programme
  9. Warning: percentages have been rounded and therefore may not sum to 100%.
