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

The Department continues to work closely with the ICO to complete the remainder of the outstanding recommendations by April 2023.
