Data guidance

Description

This document describes the data included in the 'Teacher and Leader development: ECF and NPQs' release’s underlying data files. This data is released under the terms of the Open Government License (opens in new tab) and is intended to meet at least 3 stars for Open Data (opens in new tab).

The methodology document should be referenced alongside this data. It provides information on the data sources, their coverage and quality as well as explaining methodology used in producing the data.

Coverage

This release contains information on early career teachers (ECTs) and mentors participating in the Early Career Framework (ECF) induction programme and other teachers and leaders who were taking a national professional qualification (NPQ) from the reformed suite of NPQs in the academic year 2021 to 2022. This release covers:

  • the types of schools and locations in which early career teachers started their inductions and other teachers were taking an NPQ;
  • the individual-level characteristics of early career teachers who started their induction and other teachers who were taking an NPQ.

This release is based on the Department for Education's (DfE) Teacher CPD Service dataset, which consists of management information submitted by lead providers, the School Workforce Census (SWC) and Get Information about Schools (GIAS) (opens in new tab). The SWC collects information from schools and local authorities on the school workforce in state-funded schools in England, and GIAS is the department's register of educational establishments in England and Wales. 

The underlying data files include national, regional, local authority, individual level and school level information for early career teachers and mentors participating in the ECF-based induction and other teachers and leaders who were taking an NPQ in England.
