Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an estimate of the number of full time equivalent leavers from the teaching profession in state-funded schools by subject in each local authority area between 2010-11 and 2020-21.

Information on the number of leavers from the teaching profession in state-funded schools in England is published in the ‘School Workforce in England’ statistical publication, which can be found here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/data-tables/permalink/ab66a050-ebc5-48e5-8b88-08dafb06f66e.

In the year to November 2021, the full time equivalent of 36,262 qualified teachers left the state-funded sector in England, while 43,981 qualified teachers joined. The requested figures by subject and local authority are not available.

Since 2010, the number of teachers in all state-funded schools in England has increased by 24,172 to 465,526, which is a 5% increase.
