Information on the number of teachers leaving state-funded schools and the number of teachers by subject in state-funded secondary schools in England are published in the \u2018School Workforce in England\u2019 national statistic available at: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-workforce-in-england<\/a>.<\/p>

In the year to November 2022, the full time equivalent (FTE) of 43,997 qualified teachers left the state-funded sector in England, while 47,954 qualified teachers joined.<\/p>

The latest available data shows that in November 2022, the latest data available, there were 7,184 FTE teachers teaching music in state-funded secondary schools, a slight increase from 7,003 in the previous year.<\/p>

1: Teachers were counted once against each subject and key stage they taught, irrespective of the time spent teaching.<\/p>

<\/p>

The requested figures for music teachers leaving the teaching profession are not available.<\/p>

The quality of teaching remains the single most important factor in improving outcomes for children, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department plans to update the Teacher Recruitment and Retention Strategy, originally published in 2019, and build on existing reforms to ensure every child has an excellent teacher, including in music. The strategy update will reflect progress in delivering these reforms, and set out priorities for the coming years.<\/p>

For those starting initial teacher training in music in the 2024/25 academic year, the Department is offering £10,000 tax-free bursaries. This should attract more music teachers into the profession and support schools in delivering at least one hour of music lessons a week.<\/p>

The Government will also be placing a stronger emphasis on teacher development as part of the Music Hub programme in the future, including peer-to-peer support through new Lead Schools in every Hub.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "203261"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-10-23T15:18:30.877Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-10-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Music: Teachers"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many secondary school music teachers left the teaching profession in the period between (a) 2010 and 2015, (b) 2015 and 2020 and (c) 2020 and 2023.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1588", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Keeley"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Worsley and Eccles South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Barbara Keeley"} ], "uin" : "203260"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1662799", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1662799/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

It is the responsibility of those who run schools - academy trusts, Local Authorities and voluntary aided school bodies - to manage the safety and maintenance of their schools and to alert the Department if there is a serious concern with a building.\u202fIt has always been the case that where the Department is made aware of a building that may pose an immediate risk, immediate action is taken.<\/p>

The Department has committed £1.8 billion of capital funding for the 2023/24 financial year to improve the condition of school buildings, as part of over £15 billion allocated since 2015. In addition, the Department will transform poor condition buildings at 500 schools and sixth form colleges over the coming decade through the School Rebuilding Programme. A list of all schools selected for the programme is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-rebuilding-programme-schools-in-the-programme<\/a>.<\/p>

It is important to note that it was only since 2010, and the subsequent introduction of the Priority School Rebuilding Programme, and its successors, that building condition was made the driver for schools to be chosen for rebuilding. Previous programmes, such as the Building Schools for the Future (BSF), prioritised rebuilding for non-condition related reasons. Furthermore, the inclusion of a school within BSF did not mean it necessarily addressed the presence of RAAC. Several schools now confirmed as containing RAAC through the Department\u2019s questionnaire and surveying programme were refurbished under BSF.<\/p>

Local Authorities, larger multi academy trusts and larger voluntary aided bodies are eligible to receive an annual School Condition Allocation (SCA). It is for these responsible bodies to prioritise SCA across their schools based on local knowledge of the condition of their buildings. Smaller and stand alone academy trusts, small voluntary aided school bodies and sixth-form colleges are instead able to bid into the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF), an annual bidding round, to apply for funding for specific capital projects. Information on CIF and SCA eligible schools for the 2023/24 financial year is available at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-capital-funding#funding-allocations-for-the-2023-to-2024-financial-year<\/a>.<\/p>

Applications to the CIF are robustly assessed against the published criteria, prioritising need, and feedback is provided on unsuccessful applications. All successful CIF bids are published here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/condition-improvement-fund<\/a>.<\/p>

The Condition Data Collection (CDC) programme was the first ever comprehensive survey of the school estate. Previous administrations did not have consistent national data to understand the condition of the school estate. The survey, which ran from 2017-19, under which approximately 22,000 government funded schools and 250 further education establishments in England were visited, allowed the Department to understand the condition of the school and further education college estate and informed capital funding and programmes. Allocations to improve the condition of schools take into account consistent data from the Condition Data Collection (CDC1) to ensure funding is weighted to reflect the relative condition of school buildings. The Condition Data Collection 2 is in progress to collect updated data on the condition of schools in England. Reports from the programmes are shared with schools and responsible bodies to help inform their plans, alongside their own condition surveys and checks.<\/p>

Schools also receive funding to spend on their capital priorities or to contribute to larger projects through an annual Devolved Formula Capital allocation (DFC). Details of SCA and DFC allocations for the current financial year are available at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/school-capital-funding#funding-allocations-for-the-2022-to-2023-financial-year<\/a>. Allocations for previous years are available at: https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/*/https:/www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-allocations<\/a>.<\/p>

Where the Department is alerted to significant safety issues with a building that cannot be managed with local resources, the Department provides additional support on a case by case basis. CIF eligible schools can apply for urgent capital support at any time in the year, if they have urgent building issues that need to be addressed. The Department also provides extensive guidance for responsible bodies to help them manage their estates effectively through resources such as the Good Estate Management for Schools guidance.<\/p>

The Department will always put the safety and wellbeing of children and staff in education settings at the heart of its policy decisions.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "200612"} , {"_value" : "200613"} , {"_value" : "200614"} , {"_value" : "200615"} , {"_value" : "200616"} , {"_value" : "200617"} , {"_value" : "200618"} , {"_value" : "200619"} , {"_value" : "200620"} , {"_value" : "200621"} , {"_value" : "200622"} , {"_value" : "200623"} , {"_value" : "200624"} , {"_value" : "200625"} , {"_value" : "200626"} , {"_value" : "200627"} , {"_value" : "200628"} , {"_value" : "200629"} , {"_value" : "200630"} , {"_value" : "200631"} , {"_value" : "200632"} , {"_value" : "200633"} , {"_value" : "200634"} , {"_value" : "200635"} , {"_value" : "200636"} , {"_value" : "200637"} , {"_value" : "200638"} , {"_value" : "200639"} , {"_value" : "200640"} , {"_value" : "200641"} , {"_value" : "200642"} , {"_value" : "200643"} , {"_value" : "200644"} , {"_value" : "200645"} , {"_value" : "200646"} , {"_value" : "200647"} , {"_value" : "200648"} , {"_value" : "200649"} , {"_value" : "200650"} , {"_value" : "200651"} , {"_value" : "200652"} , {"_value" : "200654"} , {"_value" : "200655"} , {"_value" : "200656"} , {"_value" : "200657"} , {"_value" : "200658"} , {"_value" : "200659"} , {"_value" : "200660"} , {"_value" : "200661"} , {"_value" : "200662"} , {"_value" : "200663"} , {"_value" : "200664"} , {"_value" : "200665"} , {"_value" : "200666"} , {"_value" : "200667"} , {"_value" : "200668"} , {"_value" : "200669"} , {"_value" : "200670"} , {"_value" : "200671"} , {"_value" : "200672"} , {"_value" : "200673"} , {"_value" : "200674"} , {"_value" : "200675"} , {"_value" : "200676"} , {"_value" : "200677"} , {"_value" : "200678"} , {"_value" : "200679"} , {"_value" : "200680"} , {"_value" : "200681"} , {"_value" : "200682"} , {"_value" : "200683"} , {"_value" : "200684"} , {"_value" : "200685"} , {"_value" : "200686"} , {"_value" : "200687"} , {"_value" : "200688"} , {"_value" : "200689"} , {"_value" : "200690"} , {"_value" : "200691"} , {"_value" : "200692"} , {"_value" : "200693"} , {"_value" : "200694"} , {"_value" : "200695"} , {"_value" : "200696"} , {"_value" : "200697"} , {"_value" : "200698"} , {"_value" : "200699"} , {"_value" : "200700"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-10-23T16:23:16.423Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-10-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "The Shade Primary School"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much additional capital funding The Shade Primary School, in the Cambridgeshire local authority area of South East Cambridgeshire constituency has received from the Government for the purposes of improving the condition of elements of that school rated 100% poor by the Condition Data Collection survey.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4046", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Bridget Phillipson"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Houghton and Sunderland South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Bridget Phillipson"} ], "uin" : "200653"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1662820", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1662820/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

It is the responsibility of those who run schools - academy trusts, Local Authorities and voluntary-aided school bodies - to manage the safety and maintenance of their schools and to alert the Department if there is a serious concern with a building. It has always been the case that where the Department is made aware a building may pose an immediate risk, immediate action is taken.<\/p>

The Department\u2019s focus is on supporting schools and colleges to put in place suitable mitigations to minimise disruption to learning. Mitigation plans could include carrying out structural work so the space can continue to be used, or taking the space out of use, using other spaces on the school site, or in nearby schools or elsewhere in the local area, until structural supports or temporary buildings are installed. Mitigations depend on a number of factors including type of building, building use and the extent of RAAC in the space.<\/p>

The supply of temporary buildings has been increased and the Department has been working with three contractors, to accelerate the installation of these. The Department also met key water and utility companies between 30 August and 5 September 2023 to ensure the easy connection to temporary services. The Department has secured significant capacity to meet current needs and can increase this if necessary. The Government will fund the emergency mitigation work needed to make buildings safe, including installing alternative classroom space where necessary.<\/p>

Where schools and colleges need additional help with revenue costs, such as transport to locations or temporarily renting a local hall or office, all reasonable requests will be approved.<\/p>

The Department will work with responsible bodies, surveyors and technical advisors to establish a longer-term permanent resolution to the RAAC, and will fund the completion of that work, including rebuilding where necessary.<\/p>

Stepney All Saints School was not one of the 52 schools with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete mitigations in place referenced in the oral contribution of Monday 4 September 2023. It was included in the list of schools and colleges with confirmed cases of RAAC as of 14 September, as published on 19 September. An updated list was published on 19 October available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/reinforced-autoclaved-aerated-concrete-raac-management-information<\/a>. This contains a summary of the number of settings with confirmed RAAC and the status of education in place at these settings at the specified date.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-10-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "199725"} , {"_value" : "199726"} , {"_value" : "199737"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-10-26T10:14:57.943Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-09-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Schools: Buildings"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what mitigations for reinforced autoclave aerated concrete her Department has put in place in schools.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4046", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Bridget Phillipson"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Houghton and Sunderland South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Bridget Phillipson"} ], "uin" : "199724"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 6, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
