Written Question
Teachers: Bolton
Wednesday 11th June 2014

Asked by: David Crausby (Labour - Bolton North East)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many (a) headteachers, (b) deputy headteachers and (c) teachers in Bolton Local Education Authority took early retirement on the grounds of ill-health in (i) 2010-11, (ii) 2011-12 and (iii) 2012-13.

Answered by David Laws

Between April 2010 and March 2013 there were seven teachers who retired on ill-health grounds from publicly-funded schools in Bolton local authority.

Given the very small number of people involved, the statistics provided have not included a grade or year split to avoid disclosing data on specific individuals.
