[1] The pupil teacher ratios are calculated by dividing the total full-time equivalent (FTE) number of pupils on roll in schools in each year by the total FTE number of teachers in schools in each year. Where schools are not open on census day, for both the School Workforce Census (November), and the School Census (January) they are excluded. Schools that do not provide either pupil or teacher figures are also excluded. See School Workforce Census methodology document for further information: Methodology: SFR25/2017.
