The Department for Education publishes information on the number of trainee secondary school chemistry, physics and mathematics teachers as part of the initial teacher training (ITT) statistical first release[1] at a national level on an annual basis.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department intends to publish this information at provider level, which will include an aggregation at the regional level, in the summer. This information will then be incorporated into future ITT statistical first releases.<\/p>

The National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) decided to discontinue financial contributions to the National Student Survey (NSS) to focus resources on the annual survey of newly qualified teachers. This survey is more in-depth and specific to initial teacher training than the NSS and provides valuable information about the quality of initial teacher training and how well that training has prepared newly qualified teachers for specific aspects of teaching.<\/p>

<\/p>

Since making this decision, NCTL has agreed to continue funding for a further year, to ensure time for a smooth transition to alternative arrangements, should the sector wish to continue receiving feedback through the National Student Survey.<\/p>

The Department for Education does not hold information on pupils who received a place at a state-funded selective school but does hold information on the number of pupils enrolled in year 7 in state-funded selective schools in January each year. Information on this basis for January 2014 is given in the table below. Information for the remaining years could only be compiled at disproportionate cost.<\/p>

  2. Numbers are rounded to the nearest 5.<\/li>
  3. Some looked after children data could not be matched to pupil records in the school census, however matching rates are high. This means that this figure may be a slight underestimate.<\/li>

    2. pupils who enrolled in state-funded selective schools, but left the school roll before the school census day in January.<\/p><\/li>

      Regulations made under The Children Act 1989 require local authorities to arrange for a child to be visited within seven working days of a private fostering arrangement becoming known to them. Regulations also require that local authorities must then carry out follow-up visits at least every six weeks in respect of the first year of the private fostering arrangement.<\/p>

      The Department is not taking any proactive steps to reduce the disparity between local authorities in meeting the six-week regulation.
