Asked by Saqib BhattiConservativeDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 8 June 2026UIN 6149

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will publish data in relation to teacher retention and recruitment by (a) constituency, (b) Local Authority and (c) region.

Answered by Georgia Gould

Information on the school workforce in England, including teacher recruitment and retention, is published annually in the ‘School workforce in England’ statistical release, available at: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-workforce-in-england/2025. This includes school-level data on the number of full-time equivalent teachers who, by the following year, either remain in the same school, move to another state-funded school, or leave the state-funded sector.
