Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many PE teachers were employed by schools in England in (a) 2009, (b) 2012 and (c) 2017.
This question was answered on 11th September 2018
Information on the number of teachers teaching individual subjects is available for state funded secondary schools only. Because the school workforce survey was only introduced in 2010 there is no information available for 2009. In November 2012 there was an estimated headcount of 24,700 teachers teaching PE in state funded secondary schools. In November 2017 there were 23,100.
