Private Education: Staff
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the number of people employed in independent schools (a) as teachers and (b) in other roles.
Answered by Stephen Morgan
Information on the full-time equivalent (FTE) number of teachers in independent schools is published in the ‘Education and training statistics for the UK’ statistical publication, which is available here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/education-and-training-statistics-for-the-uk. As of January 2023, there were 74,532 FTE teachers in independent schools in England.
Figures for the number of independent school staff in other roles are not available.
