<p>Recent data shows that there are now over 468,000 full time equivalent (FTE) in
state funded schools in England, which is an increase of 27,000 (6%) since 2010. This
makes the highest number of FTE teachers since the School Workforce Census began in
2010.</p><p>Information on the school workforce in England, including the number and
characteristics (age, gender, ethnicity, working pattern and post) of teachers joining
and leaving service nationally, is published in the ‘School Workforce in England’
statistical publication, available 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>.
Information for entrants by age, type and academic year is available at: <a href="https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/data-tables/permalink/295abd8b-e85d-478f-1bad-08db839d58e2"
target="_blank">https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/data-tables/permalink/295abd8b-e85d-478f-1bad-08db839d58e2</a>.</p><p>The
table attached provides the latest data for academic years 2010/11 to 2021/22 of the
FTE number of qualified teachers leaving and the leaving rate, from state funded school,
by region. For consistency with previously provided information, entrants numbers
and rates have also been provided. Figures for 2022/23 leavers are not available yet
as they will be identified by their absence from the November 2023 census.</p><p>Leavers
are defined as qualified teachers leaving the state funded sector in England, for
example due to a change of career or joining other UK education sectors, and those
leaving on career breaks such as maternity leave or secondments outside of the school
sector. Some of these teachers may rejoin a state funded school in England at a later
date.</p>
