Information on the number of supply teachers is not collected by the Department.
The Department does collect the number of occasional teachers. Occasional teachers are those that have a contract or service agreement with a school but are not in regular service (regular service being a contract of over 28 days). In 2021/22 (latest available figures) there were 14,513 occasional teachers in state-funded schools in England.
