uin	117858
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2017 answer text <p>We do not collect information about schools’ timetables and therefore we do not hold this information. We have placed phonics at the heart of the curriculum and introduced the phonics screening check at age six to help identify children that need additional help with their reading. In 2017, 81% of pupils nationally met the expected standard at the end of year 1, up from 58% in 2012. In Northamptonshire, the figure was also 81%, up from 55% in 2012. Thanks to our reforms and the hard work of teachers and pupils, an additional 154,000 six year olds across England are on track to become fluent readers.</p><p>In addition, the 2016 Progress in International Reading Study results, published last week, put the success of our increased emphasis on phonics and continued focus on raising education standards on a global scale. England rose up the rankings from joint 10<sup>th</sup> in 2011 to joint 8<sup>th</sup>, and achieved the highest performance since the study began in 2001, driven by an increase in the number of low-performing pupils reading well.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 11/12/2017 17:22:07 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

Information at regional level comparable to the national figures referenced above is not available. Information is available on the number of qualified teachers leaving the profession by region.

uin	117649
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2017 answer text <p>We have identified the most important factors that influence the decisions of those teachers who do decide to leave the profession. We are working to tackle these. This includes, for example, our Workload Action Plan and encouraging schools to provide more flexible working arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has recently conducted a review of the evidence of the factors which cause teachers to leave the profession, as well as analyses of administrative data to explore geographical factors, school characteristics and teacher characteristics that predict whether a teacher remained within or left the profession. The full findings for this can be found respectively in the Department’s <em>Teachers analysis compendium 2</em> (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/643974/SFR86_2017_Main_Text.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/643974/SFR86_2017_Main_Text.pdf</a>) and <em>Analysis of teacher supply, retention and mobility </em>(<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/615729/SFR33_2017_Text.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/615729/SFR33_2017_Text.pdf</a>).</p><p> </p><p>Analyses have found that there is no single observable factor that can explain why teachers leave the profession, and that there are a wide range of factors affecting decisions.</p><p> </p><p>National and international evidence shows that the decision to leave teaching is a complex one influenced by numerous professional and personal factors – ranging from working conditions (in particular workload), school situation and pay, to a desire for a new challenge and personal reasons.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 11/12/2017 17:19:10 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
