https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/teacher-recruitment-and-retention-strategy<\/a>.<\/p>For the 2019/20 recruitment cycle, the Department is taking forward the successful recruitment strategies from the last cycle, including boosting our marketing and support to applicants, providing generous bursaries for priority subjects, making it easier to take the skills test, and working with providers to ensure we are accepting every applicant who is ready to train to teach.<\/p>
The Department is also addressing the issues that teachers cite as reasons for leaving the profession, by continuing to work extensively with unions, teachers and Ofsted to challenge and remove unhelpful practices that create unnecessary workload.<\/p>

The information requested is not held centrally. The Department does not collect information relating to the published admissions numbers of individual schools.<\/p>
All school admission authorities must set a published admissions number (PAN). This is the number of pupils the school will admit at their normal point of entry, for example, to the reception year of a primary school.<\/p>
Admission authorities are not required to consult before increasing their PAN. They must, however, notify the local authority of any intention to do so.<\/p>
