answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2022 answer text <p>Information on the retention rates of qualified teachers and the number of newly qualified entrants to state funded schools in England is published in the annual ‘School Workforce in England’ national statistics release. The information can be accessed at: <a href="https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-workforce-in-england" target="_blank">https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-workforce-in-england</a>.</p><p>87.5% of teachers who qualified in 2020 were still teaching one year after qualification. In the year to November 2021, the full time equivalent of 43,981 teachers joined the state-funded sector in England, including 3,850 deferred newly qualified teachers and 22,059 newly qualified teachers.</p><p>The requested figures by region and local authority are in the attached tables. Figures relate to a teacher’s original location, which is not necessarily the location they were in when leaving the state funded sector. If a teacher moves to a state funded school in a different local authority or region, they are counted as still in service. One-year retention rates will be the least affected by movement across boundaries. Retention percentages may go up as well as down because the methodology employed allows for non-continuous service where teachers leave and re-join the state funded sector over time.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb grouped question UIN 86461 question first answered 21/11/2022 14:23:07 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb attachment 1 file name 86460 86461 Table 161122.xlsx title 86460 86461 Table

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2022 answer text <p>The Department continues to monitor the consequences of the rising cost of living and is working with other Government Departments to provide support. The Department will continue to keep free school meal (FSM) eligibility under review to ensure that these meals are supporting those who most need them. In setting a threshold, the Government believes that the current level, which enables children to benefit from FSM, while remaining affordable and deliverable for schools, is the right one.</p><p>The latest published statistics show that around 1.9 million pupils are claiming FSM. This equates to 22.5% of all pupils, up from 20.8% in 2021. Together with a further 1.25 million infants supported through the Universal Infant Free School Meal policy, 37.5% of school children are now provided with FSM.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 18/11/2022 15:05:41 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2022 answer text <p>The Teachers’ Standards set clear expectations that teachers must understand the needs of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), which includes neurodiverse conditions. All trainees who achieve Qualified Teacher Status must demonstrate that they can adapt teaching to respond to the needs of all pupils.</p><p>To support all teachers to meet these standards, the Department is implementing high quality teacher training reforms, which will begin with initial teacher training and continue into early career teaching with the Early Career Framework (ECF), through to the reformed suite of leadership and specialist NPQs, ensuring that teachers have the skills to support all pupils to succeed, including those with SEND. Both the Initial Teacher Training Core Content Framework and ECF have been designed around how to support all pupils to succeed, including those pupils identified within the four areas of need set out in the SEND Code of Practice.</p><p>In addition, the Universal Services programme, backed by almost £12 million, will help schools and the further education workforce to identify and meet the needs of children and young people with SEND, including those with autism, earlier and more effectively.</p><p>It is up to head teachers to use their professional judgement to identify any further training, including specific specialisms, for individual staff that is relevant to them, the school, and its pupils.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 18/11/2022 13:44:12 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2022 answer text <p>Citizenship forms a compulsory part of the National Curriculum at Key Stages 3 and 4. Within citizenship, pupils in secondary maintained schools in England will be taught the workings of Parliament, voting and elections; the role of police, courts and justice; free press, human rights and international law; and the governments of other countries.
